摘要

A search intermediating apparatus capable of requesting a computer, with which a reliable relationship is established, to do a part of a search processing. A search intermediating apparatus, which starts a search in accordance with a search request, accompanied by search information, from a client and which outputs a search result, includes a one-chip multi-core processor (32) comprising two or more processors that store respective IDs and secret keys. At least one of the two or more processors transmits, based on the secret key stored in that processor, at least a part of the foregoing search information related to the ID stored in that processor to a searching apparatus having an authenticated search engine, and receives a search result from the searching apparatus.
