Although the search for information has long germinated in the library reference work, but the term "intelligence retrieval" did not appear until the early 1950s. It is the modern recorded knowledge of the rapid growth of the need to give a reasonable storage, people looking for more focus on the information contained in the document rather than the document itself, as well as the application of electronic computers to the work of library and intelligence to enable people to have a powerful means of information processing and the emergence of a new term. Therefore, the broad sense of intelligence retrieval includes the storage and retrieval of information, while the narrow sense of intelligence retrieval refers only to the latter.
