For the search term, the search intention of the user may be determined to mean "direct connection" to content directly related to the search term.

2 is a schematic block diagram of the Internet search engine server of FIG. 2, the server controller 202 controls the overall control according to the communication with the user terminal device 102 on the Internet to use the Internet search service and the overall operation of the search engine server 108. In particular, after checking the Internet search method for each search word by referring to the search method DB 110 for a search word input from a user according to an embodiment of the present invention, the search at the time of "direct connection" or "general search" according to the corresponding search method Provide the results to the user. The ROM (Read Only Memory) 204 stores various operating programs necessary for the operation of the server controller 202 and stores various basic data necessary for driving the operating program. A random access memory (RAM) 206 temporarily stores a program operated by the instruction of the server controller 202 or temporarily stores data generated when the operating program is executed. The network interface unit 200 interfaces data transmitted / received through the Internet 106 between the user terminal device 102 and the Internet search engine server 108. The search method DB 110 is referred to by the server controller 202, and stores a search method for each search word as an information structure configured to correspond to a search method for each search word as shown in FIG. For the search word set as a direct connection, the URL information of the content web page to be connected corresponding to the search word is stored in association with the search method.
