Abstract
A system saves browsed data in a database in response to a user request by assigning a predetermined index to the data, wherein the user is not requested for any index. The system sorts indices of the data in the database and displays the sorted indices, then the system retrieves, in response to a selection of an index from the displayed indices by a user, the data corresponding to the selected index from the database. Accordingly if a user wants to save a data currently browsed, he can have the data stored in the database easily only by issuing an instruction to save without specifying any index.
