Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a data searching method according to an embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

s101: creating a search box on a current page by using a plug-in of a browser;

in this embodiment of the present invention, the current page refers to a page that a user is browsing, and the type of the page is not limited, and the current page may be a page provided by any website, for example: a game page of a game website, a video page of a video website, a text page of a thesis website, etc.

In the embodiment of the invention, the plug-in of the browser can be an extension plug-in or a built-in plug-in, wherein the built-in plug-in refers to a plug-in which is built in the browser in advance and is uncontrollable by a user.

When browsing a page, a user can see an object of interest, and at this time, the user needs to search for information related to the object to further understand the object. For example, when a user browses a paper, the user is interested in new technical terms described in the paper, and needs to search to further understand the technology. For another example, when a user watches a movie, the user is interested in an episode in the movie, and needs to know the related information of the episode through searching. At present, when a user is interested in a certain object in a current page, the user jumps to a search result page to check corresponding content when searching. This causes page switching and the user experience is very poor. Based on the application scene, the invention provides a method for creating a search box on the current page by using a plug-in of a browser and displaying the search result on the current page.

The following explains a specific implementation of step S101.

Specifically, the browser may first identify a page element included in the current page; and creating a search box in or around the identified page element by using the plug-in of the browser.

Page elements, also referred to herein as web page elements, include various types of elements such as text, pictures, audio, animation, video, and so forth. In implementation, after the page element is identified, a search box may be set at a preset, fixed location of the page element. For example, the search box may be set at a preset fixed position such as an upper right corner, an upper left corner, a lower right corner, and a lower left corner in the web page element, or may be set at a peripheral position such as a right side, a left side, an upper side, and a lower side of the web page element.

In implementation, the type of page element may be preset, so that a relevant search box is created for a specific type of page element on the current page. Based on this, the step S101 is specifically implemented by creating a search box in or around a preset type of page element on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser. When the method is implemented, one type or multiple types can be preset; thus, in implementation, one or more search boxes may be created for one type of page element, or one or more search boxes may be created for multiple different types of page elements, respectively. However, only one relevant search box is created for one page element.

The following description will be given taking the preset type as "video" as an example. Specifically, a video playing window of a current page is identified, and then a search box is created in or around the playing window. If only one video playing window on the current page is identified, a search box is created in or around the video playing window. If a plurality of video playing windows are identified on the current page, a search box is respectively created in or around each video playing window.

This mode is exemplified by a video play window on a Web PC end page.

(1) Positioning the position of the video player (play window): video tags used by the Web PC side include video, object, embed and the like. And injecting the current video page through the Content Script of the plug-in, wherein the Content Script is the Content Script of the plug-in and refers to the javascript Script which can run inside the page loaded by the browser. After the current video page is injected, traversing a DOM (document object model) tree to detect video tags, and calculating the absolute coordinates (relative coordinates and page rolling distance) of the hit tags in the page and the width and height of the hit tags; if more than one tag is hit, the absolute coordinates of the tags are compared, and the node closest to the top of the page and with a reasonable width and height value is selected as the video player node.

(2) Creating a search box: after the position and width and height of the video player are obtained, a search box can be dynamically created at a preset fixed position (such as the upper right corner) of the video player.

Therefore, when a user watches the video on the page, the user can search for the interested things at any time only by inputting the key words in the search box on the playing window.

S102: receiving a keyword input by a user in the search box;

when the method is realized, a plug-in of a browser is used for coding the key words, a preset search engine URL is modified by using the coded key words to obtain a URL request, the URL request is triggered, and a search result returned by the URL request is received. Specifically, firstly, a plug-in of a browser is used for coding the keyword, and then a query in a search engine URL is assigned by using a coded character string to obtain a URL request, wherein the URL request is the URL request related to the keyword; and finally triggering the URL request and receiving a search result returned by the URL request.

The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is an address of a standard Resource on the internet, and is also a compact representation of a location and an access method of a Resource obtained from the internet. Each file on the internet has a unique URL that contains information indicating the location of the file and how the browser should handle it. Therefore, by encoding the keyword, the query in the search engine URL is assigned with the encoded character string, and thus a URL request related to the keyword is formed. With the URL request, information related to the keyword can be searched.

The processing of the keywords is described in an exemplary manner with reference to fig. 2.

For example, the following steps are carried out: referring to fig. 2, if the user watches tv drama "huaqian gu" and is interested in "ten-square god" mentioned in the tv drama, the keyword "ten-square god" is entered in the search box of the play window; after receiving a keyword input by a user, transmitting the keyword 'ten-square organ' input by the user to a plug-in background page of a browser, coding the keyword 'ten-square organ' on the background page to obtain a character string, assigning a query in a preset search engine URL by using the character string to obtain a URL request corresponding to the keyword, triggering the URL request and receiving a search result corresponding to the keyword returned by the URL request.

Specifically, a function of 'encoderURIComponent' is called to encode a keyword 'decadic character device' to obtain a character string '% E5%, 8D%, 81%, E6%, 96%, B9%, E7%, A5%, 9E%, E5%, 99% A8';

suppose the predetermined search engine is a dog search engine whose URL is https:// www.sogou.com/web? query & _ asf & _ www.sogou.com & _ ast ═ w ═ 01015002& p ═ 40040108& ie ═ utf8& oq ═ 0& sourceid ═ sugg & sut ═ 0& ss t0 ═ 1442374325573& lkt ═ 0% 2C 0% 2C0 ".

Then, the query in the search engine URL is assigned by using the character string coded by the keyword ' decadic character generator '% E5% 8D% 81% E6% 96% B9% E7% A5% 9E% E5% 99% A8 ', so that the URL request corresponding to the keyword is obtained.

After triggering the URL request, the search engine starts the search and then returns the search results corresponding to the keywords. After the step 102 is completed, the embodiment executes the step 103.

S103: creating a display area on the current page by using the plug-in;

s104: and displaying the search results corresponding to the keywords in the display area.

In implementation, step S103 may first identify a page element included in the current page, and then create a display area in or around the identified page element by using the plug-in; alternatively, the plug-in may be utilized to create a presentation area on one side of the current page.

For example, still taking the scenario of fig. 2 as an example, a playing window of a current page is first identified, and then a presentation area is created around (to the right of) the playing window. The display area is shown as the right area of the playing window in fig. 3, and the search results corresponding to the keywords are displayed in the display area. Therefore, when the user watches the video, the user can simultaneously check the search result, and the user experience is better.

Of course, the display area may also be created at a preset fixed position in the playing window, where the preset fixed position may be any position on one side in the playing window, such as the right side, the left side, the lower side, the upper side, and the like in the playing window. Of course, it is also possible to create the presentation area directly on one side of the page without focusing on the page elements.

In addition, to improve the user viewing experience, the presentation area may be set as a movable window. Therefore, the user can drag the display area to a proper position according to the requirement, so that the user can conveniently check the original content of the current webpage and check the search result.

In addition, in order to facilitate the user to quickly locate effective information, before the search results corresponding to the keywords are displayed in the display area, filtering processing is performed on the search results, useless information (such as advertisements, external links and other information) is filtered, and the filtered content is displayed according to a form suitable for the size of the display area. The content displayed in the display area is filtered and displayed in a form suitable for the size of the display area. For example, a mobile browser is used to display a web page, and a search result is displayed in a display area of a current page, as shown in fig. 3.

By adopting any one of the above modes, a display area is created on the current webpage by using a plug-in of the browser, and then the search results corresponding to the keywords are displayed for the user in the display area. Therefore, the user can check the search result corresponding to the keyword on the current webpage without page switching.

Since multiple search results may be presented in the presentation area, the user may be interested in one of the multiple search results and want to learn further. At this time, the user may directly click and view the search result, and in order to provide a better search experience for the user, the method may further include the following steps based on the foregoing method:

When the specific content of the search result is displayed, the specific content of the search result may be filtered, useless information (such as advertisements, external links, and the like) is filtered, and the filtered text content is displayed in a form suitable for the size of the display area.

When the method is realized, a viewing request triggered by a user for a certain search result is received, an Asynchronous processing request (ajax, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is generated by using a plug-in of a browser according to the viewing request triggered by the user, and a response text (response text) is received; and filtering the internal and external chains and the useless labels of the response text (response text) according to a preset rule, and rendering the filtered text content into a display area. Therefore, the filtered clean text content is displayed for the user in the display area, and the user can conveniently and quickly browse the content which is interested by the user. It can be seen that: the invention processes the viewing request triggered by the user by using the asynchronous processing request, and the asynchronous processing request does not need to refresh the page, thereby providing better search experience for the user. In addition, a user browses the text content of a certain search result in the display area, and after browsing is finished, the content of the display area can be continuously reserved according to the requirement, or a return request can be initiated by triggering a return control to return to the initial search result list page (the search result page corresponding to the keyword and displayed in the display area is called a search result list page).

For example, a return control may be provided on the presentation area to facilitate the user returning to the search result list page by triggering the return control. The return control of the display area may be set as a return button, and is set at the upper left corner of the display area, and of course, the specific form and position of the return control of the display area may be set according to actual requirements, as long as the user can trigger the return operation conveniently, which is not limited to this example.

In addition, considering that the requirement of the user for the information related to the keyword may be temporary, when browsing is finished, the user may no longer need to display the information in the area, and in order to provide a good webpage browsing experience for the user at this time, on the basis of the above method, the following steps may be added:

and receiving a closing operation triggered by a user aiming at the display area, and closing the display area. That is, after the user finishes browsing the search result, the search result display area can be continuously reserved or closed according to the requirement.

For example, a closing control may be provided in the upper right corner of the presentation area, and the user may click on the closing control to close the presentation area. The specific form and the setting position of the closing control are not limited in the invention as long as the user can trigger the closing operation conveniently.

According to the technical scheme, the data searching method provided by the invention has the advantages that the plug-in of the browser is utilized to create the search box and the display area on the current page, so that a convenient search channel is provided for a user, the user can immediately search the interest point in the search box of the current page, and the corresponding search result can be checked in the display area, so that the user can browse the search result without switching the page, and the user experience is better.

In order to further improve the user experience, on the basis of the above embodiment 1, the present invention further provides an optional technical solution, specifically referring to fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of embodiment 2 of a data searching method provided by the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

s201: creating a control on the current page by using a plug-in of a browser, wherein the control is used for controlling the display or closing of a search box;

s202: receiving a display request triggered by a user on a current page aiming at the control, and triggering step 203 according to the display request;

during implementation, a control can be created, and the control is used for controlling the display or closing of all the search boxes on the same page; multiple controls can also be created, and the multiple controls are used for respectively controlling the display or closing of different search boxes on the same page.

The control can be set at a preset fixed position of the current page or can be set as a movable control, so that a user can drag the control at will according to requirements; the specific form of the control is not limited, and the control can be a button, a slider and the like. The triggering mode of the control is not limited, and the triggering mode can be other triggering modes such as clicking, double clicking, sliding and the like.

S203: creating a search box on a current page by using a plug-in of a browser;

in implementation, if there are several different implementations of step S201, there are several different implementations of step S203, which will be described below.

In one implementation manner of step S201, a control is created on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser, where the control is used to control display or closing of a search box related to all page elements on the same page. Namely, a control is created on the current page, and a user can uniformly control the display or closing of the search boxes of all page elements on the current page by using the control.

When the user triggers the control, a corresponding search box is created for each page element on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser, so that all the page elements on the current page display their respective search boxes simultaneously, which is convenient for the user to operate.

Another implementation manner of the step S201 is to create at least one control on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser, where each control is used to control display or closing of a search box related to one type of page element on the same page; that is, one or more controls are created on the current page, and a user can use one control to uniformly control the display or closing of a search box for a certain type of page element on the current page.

When the user triggers a certain control, a corresponding implementation manner of step S203 is to create a search box on the current page for the page elements of the preset type by using a plug-in of the browser, so that the page elements of the preset type on the current page all display their respective search boxes at the same time.

For example, if a control is created in step S201, and the control is used to control the display or closing of a search box related to a page element of a video playing window type on the same page, when the user triggers the control to initiate a display request, step S203 specifically identifies a video playing window included in the current page, and creates a search box in or around the identified video playing window by using a plug-in of a browser.

Step S201 is also implemented in a manner that a plurality of controls are created on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser, and different controls are used for controlling display or closing of search boxes related to different page elements on the same page. That is, a control is created for each page element on the current page, and the user can independently control the display or closing of the search box of each page element.

When the user triggers a control, a corresponding one of the implementation manners of step 203 is to create a search box on the current page for the page element related to the control by using a plug-in of the browser.

Therefore, the user can input the interested keywords in the search box related to a certain page element according to actual requirements. Of course, in the case that the page already displays the search box, the user may close the corresponding search box by triggering the control.

S204: receiving a keyword input by a user in the search box;

s205: creating a display area on the current page by using the plug-in;

s206: and displaying the search results corresponding to the keywords in the display area.

Steps S203 to S206 are the same as steps S101 to S104 in embodiment 1, and the specific implementation process may refer to the above description, which is not described herein again.

According to the technical scheme, the data searching method provided by the invention has the advantages that the control is created on the current page by using the plug-in of the browser, and the user can control the display or closing of the search box by triggering the control according to the actual requirement, so that the search box is not directly displayed on the current page, and the search box is created on the current page for the user only after the user triggers the display request, so that the interactive experience of the user is improved. Then, a search box and a display area are created on the current page by using a plug-in of the browser, so that a convenient search channel is provided for a user, the user can immediately search the interest points in the search box of the current page, and the corresponding search results can be checked in the display area, so that the user can browse the search results without switching the page, and the user experience is better.
