ABSTRACT:
A bit string searching apparatus has a coupled node tree, having a root node and a node pair, the node pair being a branch node and leaf node, or a pair of branch nodes, or a pair of leaf nodes in adjacent storage areas, the branch node including a search key discrimination bit position and information indicating a position of one node of a node pair of a link target, and the leaf node including an index key that is a bit string that is the target of a search, wherein a search for an index key from the root node to a branch node using a search key is executed by repeatedly and successively linking to one node of a node pair of a link target, according to a bit value of a search key at the discrimination bit position in the branch node, until reaching the leaf node.
