1. An information processing apparatus using composite data of image data and text information as search subjects,the text information being obtained by converting character information, which is originally image data included in the image data, into texts, andthe composite data being obtained by combining the texts, which are converted, with the image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a word dictionary that stores a plurality of words;
a character information extracting unit that extracts and recognizes character information out of the image data;
a search subject word extracting unit thatconverts the character information, which is recognized and which corresponds to the word stored in the word dictionary, into text,inserts the text, which is converted, into search subject data, andstores the search subject data in a database;
a search text input unit that receives an input of the text information which is a search target;
a search word extracting unit that extracts word, which is included in the word dictionary, as search word based on the text information which is the search target; and
