A full-text search interface connecting to the disaster article database maintained by the authors has condemned users to type a search word in each case. To save the effort of search word selection, we attempted an article retrieval support using word cloud, which displays words in various sizes depending on the occurrence rate. We developed a prototype web page including an SVG image for the word cloud. Users can conduct search by clicking the word on the image, through the JavaScript event handling.
