Provided is a search system and method for an expanded administrative area using nearby administrative area information. A search system may include a setter configured to set, as a search area, an administrative district corresponding to an administrative name in response to a query comprising the administrative name, and a searcher configured to conduct a search associated with the query in the search area. Here, the setter may expand the search area to another administrative district adjacent to the administrative district when a search result obtained from the search area is unsatisfactory.
