Facilitating a user determination of an exclusion keyword in order to
specify an efficient exclusion of an unwanted piece of data when the user
narrows searching objects. Exclusion is accomplished in a system having a
searching object data storage for storing pieces of searching object
data, a searcher for performing a primary narrowing of the search, a
common keyword extractor for extracting the common keywords associated
with a piece of data, an input/output device for passing a selected
keyword selected the extracted common keywords while receiving and
displaying a result from an exclusion efficiency calculator. The
exclusion efficiency calculator calculates exclusion efficiency and
indicates a level of exclusion efficiency of data that is not associated
with a selected keyword for an individual common keyword.
