Abstract
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus which allows high-quality contents to be easily obtained. A WWW browser section 81 sends search request information which includes a keyword for web pages, input by the user, to an evaluation and search server 7. A search section 92 of the evaluation and search server 7 receives the search request information through a transmitting and receiving control section 91, and searches a WWW data base 96 for web pages corresponding to the reported keyword. The search section 92 reports the URLs, access information, of web pages obtained as a search result, to an evaluation section 95 to request the calculation of an evaluation value for each web page. The search section 92 generates search result information including evaluation from the access information of the web pages obtained as a search result and the evaluation value for each web page, reported by the evaluation section 95, and sends it to the WWW browser section 81 through the transmitting and receiving control section 91.
