Information processing apparatus, information processing system, processing method thereof, and recording medium

An information processing method comprising:

• using at least one processor to perform the following:
• receiving a folder and determining whether the received folder is a search folder or a folder that is not the search folder, wherein the search folder has a search status and holds a search result, and wherein the folder that is not the search folder is not searched and does not include a search status or a search result,
• wherein the search condition includes a condition that considers a text of the file as a search target, and wherein the search folder and the folder that is not the search folder are disclosed as a target folder;
• searching one or a plurality of search conditions set in the search folder and conducting a full-text search capable of holding full-text search index data, and conducting a full-text search based on the index data and acquiring a folder information list based on the target folder information;
• performing a repetitive check to identify the search folder when the folder is a search folder;
• checking that the full text search is functioning and providing a receipt confirming the search status;
• displaying the search folder based on the search status as an element of lower hierarchy, and the folder that is not the search folder without the element of lower hierarchy;
• obtaining the search status of the search folder, wherein the obtained search status includes a plurality of conditions for the full text search;
• determining whether the obtained search status includes at least one abnormal condition indicating a search status that fails to conduct a normal search, for each of the plurality of conditions;
• and
• displaying the search folder so as to be identifiable from the folder that is not the search folder, and
• visually marking an abnormal search condition on the search folder,
• wherein the search folder has the search status that includes at least one abnormal condition.

• performing a repetitive check to identify the search folder when the folder is a search folder;
• checking that the full text search is functioning and providing a receipt confirming the search status;
• displaying the search folder based on the search status as an element of lower hierarchy, and the folder that is not the search folder without the element of lower hierarchy;
• obtaining the search status of the search folder, wherein the obtained search status includes a plurality of conditions for the full text search;
• determining whether the obtained search status includes at least one abnormal condition indicating a search status that fails to conduct a normal search, for each of the plurality of conditions;
• and
• displaying the search folder so as to be identifiable from the folder that is not the search folder, and
