In this research, a prototype of proverb database retrieval support system has been built. Book-type proverb dictionary has difficulty in management and inconvenience when carrying around. In addition, there is almost no Web application which deals with proverbs edited in a large scale. In these circumstances, it is considered that portable proverb database edited into universal contents is useful. However, one of the problems is that users tend to search proverbs without accurate memory and accurate spell typing because of their complexity. So in this research, using PHP and MySQL of the server side technology and Ajax of client-side technology, this system has been developed. Consequently, the developed retrieval support system enabled the users to make input easier than before, and was able to improve the convenience of the proverb database.
