A microprocessor 10 determines a search key based on these inquiry words and discriminates all of language materials of the document coinciding with the search key. They are displayed on a monitor 36, as phrases including word data coinciding with the search key, next non-stop (contents) words adjacent to word data coinciding with the search key, and all stop words interposed between word data coinciding with the search key and next adjacent non-stop words.
