1. A search method comprising the steps of:
receiving a search string input by a user, the search string including an indication of a chemical compound;
forming a vector characterizing the search string input;
interpreting, based on the vector, a semantic content contained in the search string;
retrieving, based on a result of the step of interpreting, a first analytical report from a database where a group of analytical reports are stored, each of the analytical reports including information regarding a type of an analyzer used in the analytical report, and an analytical result obtained through an experiment for the chemical compound or a second compound which is identified to have a characteristic similar to the chemical compound;
extracting the information from the first analytical report; and
displaying, on a display, a part of the retrieved first analytical report as well as the information separately.
