To further illustrate aspects of embodiments of the present application, the present application is described below with reference to fig. 2 by way of example from the perspective of a first network device.

Fig. 2 shows a method for searching hosted programs at a first network device according to a first aspect of the present application, where the method is applicable to the system shown in fig. 1, and specifically includes step S101, step S102, step S103, and step S104. In step S101, the first network device establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base regarding one or more hosted programs, where the one or more hosted programs are stored or registered in the first network device, the hosted program snapshot information base includes at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and includes hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program; in step S102, the first network device receives a hosted program search request sent by the user device; in step S103, the first network device matches a query in the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request to obtain one or more target hosted program snapshot information matched with the hosted program search request; in step S104, the first network device returns at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information to the user device.

Specifically, in step S101, the first network device establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base regarding one or more hosted programs, wherein the one or more hosted programs are stored or registered with the first network device, the hosted program snapshot information base includes at least one hosted program record, each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and includes hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the first network device stores or registers one or more hosted programs and establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs, wherein the first network device may establish or update a mapping relationship between corresponding index fields and corresponding hosted program snapshot information based on hosted program records (such as hosted program search records and the like) of a corresponding large number of users, so as to establish or update the hosted program snapshot information bases of the multiple hosted programs; the first network device may further obtain, from the second network device, a mapping relationship between an index field and corresponding hosted program snapshot information based on a preset data access interface or a search interface, and establish or update a corresponding hosted program record, so as to establish or update a plurality of hosted program snapshot information bases, where the hosted program snapshot information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of plain text content of page content of the hosted program (e.g., plain text of relevant page content corresponding to the hosted program index field inside the hosted program, etc.), link information of page content of the hosted program (e.g., page URL), etc., and the index field includes, but is not limited to, a description key, a search key, etc., corresponding to the hosted program information. In one implementation, the establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and the corresponding hosted program snapshot information may include establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and the hosted program snapshot information and/or the access data information, for example, if the access data information includes link information (e.g., a page URL) of page content of the hosted program, a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and one or more page URLs in one or more hosted programs may be established or updated, and a page URL of the one hosted program may also be established with one or more index fields. Here, the hosted program snapshot information occupies fewer resources, requires lower bandwidth for transmission, and has wider applicability, compared to the web page content corresponding to the hosted program.

In step S102, the first network device receives a hosted program search request sent by the user device. For example, a user holds a user device, the user device installs an application corresponding to the first network device, the user device establishes a communication connection with the first network device through the application, the user searches for information related to the hosted program inside the application, the user device generates a corresponding hosted program search request based on input information/selection operations (such as selecting a history search record) of the user, and transmits the hosted program search request to the first network device, wherein the hosted program search request includes, but is not limited to, text information, voice information, and the like.

In step S103, the first network device matches a query in the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request to obtain one or more target hosted program snapshot information matched with the hosted program search request. For example, the first network device performs query matching in the hosted program index database according to the received hosted program search request and based on the hosted program search request, to obtain one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information matched therewith, for example, by performing operations such as word segmentation and keyword extraction on text information included in the hosted program search request, to obtain a plurality of keywords included in the hosted program search request, and further performs matching with index fields in the hosted program snapshot information database according to one or more of the plurality of keywords, and if the index fields include one or more of the plurality of keywords, determines the hosted program information corresponding to the index fields as the target hosted program snapshot information, thereby obtaining one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the plurality of keywords.

In step S104, the first network device returns at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. For example, after the first network device obtains one or more target hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the hosted program search request, at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information is returned to the user device, for example, sorting is performed according to search heat, one or more target hosted program snapshot information ranked higher is returned to the user device, for example, sorting is performed according to usage evaluation of the hosted snapshot program, one or more target hosted program information ranked higher is returned to the user device, and for example, several target hosted program snapshot information is randomly selected from the one or more target hosted program snapshot information and returned to the user device. In one implementation, the information returned to the user device may include one or more of identification information for each target hosted application, page snapshot information for the target hosted application, access link information (e.g., page URL, etc.) for the page content of the target hosted program, and the like.

For example, a user holds user equipment, and an application corresponding to the first network device is installed on the user equipment. The first network device stores or registers one or more hosted programs, acquires corresponding snapshot information based on corresponding page content based on a search record of a user (for example, the search record contains a search keyword and corresponding page content, and the like), and uses the search keyword as a corresponding index field, thereby establishing hosted program records of hosted program snapshot information and the index field, and the like, and establishing or updating a corresponding hosted program snapshot information base according to a plurality of hosted program records. The user device sends a hosted program search request, such as a hosted program search request containing a search keyword for "xx goods", to the first network device through the corresponding application. The first network device receives the hosted program search request, matches in the hosted program snapshot information base based on the hosted program search request, and determines the corresponding hosted program record, such as hosted program snapshot information of "commodity store 1" and index field level "commodity store 2" of "xx commodity" and index field of "xx commodity", etc. Subsequently, the first network device determines the hosted program snapshot information of the corresponding "article store 1" and "article store 2", and returns at least one of these hosted program snapshot information to the user device. The user device receives and presents the at least one snapshot information, assisting the user in learning the hosted program snapshot information about the store containing the "xx goods", and the like.

In some embodiments, the hosted program record further includes hosted program identification information for each hosted program; in step S103, the first network device matches a query in the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request to obtain one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information matched with the hosted program search request and target hosted program identification information corresponding to each piece of target hosted program snapshot information; in step S104, the first network device returns at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information and target hosted program identification information corresponding to the at least one target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. For example, in the hosted program snapshot information base established by the first network device, each hosted program record further includes identification information of the corresponding hosted program, such as a name, an icon, a homepage access address, and the like of the hosted program. The first network device can determine the corresponding snapshot information of the target hosted program, and can also determine the identification information of the target hosted program, and simultaneously send the snapshot information of the target hosted program to the user device, so that the first network device can provide the hosted program information related to the snapshot information for the user, and the user can obtain more comprehensive information.

In some embodiments, in step S101, the first network device obtains, through a predetermined data access interface, hosted program snapshot information of at least one hosted program from a second network device corresponding to one or more hosted programs stored or registered in the first network device; and establishing or updating a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs according to the hosted program snapshot information, wherein the hosted program snapshot information base comprises at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and comprises hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the predetermined data access interface includes an automatic access interface for requesting a website and extracting data, such as a web crawler that automatically captures website information according to a certain rule; in some implementations of the present application, the data access interface may be opened by the host application to the corresponding hosted program, and the corresponding page of the hosted application may be accessed through the data access interface to obtain snapshot information of the page, where the page to be accessed may be preset by the host application, for example, the host application defaults to access a home page of the hosted application through the data access interface, and in addition, the hosted program may flexibly set or select one or more pages to be accessed based on its own needs, and store related information of the page to be accessed in the data access interface setting. The hosted program snapshot information includes, but is not limited to, relevant content (e.g., page text content and/or page URL, etc.) of the hosted program related page obtained through the data access interface. The first network device obtains corresponding hosted program snapshot information from a second network device corresponding to each hosted program through a predetermined data access interface, wherein the hosted program snapshot information includes web page text contents and the like corresponding to the second network device and capable of being captured. And then, the first network device establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base according to the captured webpage contents, if the corresponding index field is determined through each webpage content, the corresponding hosted program record is established or updated, if the network device does not have the hosted program snapshot information base temporarily, the first network device establishes the hosted program snapshot information base related to the hosted programs according to the hosted program records, and if the hosted program snapshot information base is established by the first network device, the first network device updates the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program records. The hosted program snapshot information obtained through the process has stronger pertinence to the search request of the user and higher utilization rate of the hosted program snapshot information.

Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-described data access interfaces are merely exemplary, and that other existing or future data access interfaces, as may be suitable for use in the present application, are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated by reference.

In some embodiments, in step S101, for one or more hosted programs stored or registered in the first network device, the first network device sends one or more search request messages to a second network device corresponding to at least one hosted program through a predetermined search interface, and receives search response messages returned by the second network device; and establishing or updating a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs according to the search response information, wherein the hosted program snapshot information base comprises at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and comprises hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the predetermined search interface is configured to establish a communication connection between the first network device and a second network device corresponding to each hosted program, send predetermined search request information (obtained from big data or a user search record, etc.) to the second network device, and execute a search function inside the second network device to obtain one or more search response information of the second network device corresponding to each hosted program, where the search response information includes, but is not limited to, page-related content (such as page text content or page URL, etc.) related to the hosted program searched by the keyword in the search request information. The first network device creates or updates a plurality of boarder program records related to a plurality of boarder programs according to the keywords contained in the search request information and the corresponding received one or more search response information. If the network device has no hosted program index database temporarily, the first network device establishes a hosted program snapshot information base related to the hosted programs according to the hosted program records, and if the first network device has established the hosted program snapshot information base, the first network device updates the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program records. The snapshot information coverage of the boarder program obtained through the process is wider and more comprehensive.

In some embodiments, the hosted program snapshot information includes access link information of a page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information; the method further includes step S105 (not shown), in step S105, the first network device determines, from the hosted program snapshot information library, associated hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information based on access link information of a page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information; subsequently, in step S104, the first network device returns at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information and associated hosted program snapshot information of the at least one target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. For example, the hosted program snapshot information further includes access link information of a page corresponding to the search request, and the first network device may determine, based on the access link information of each hosted program snapshot information, associated hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information, such as determining, according to the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information, whether the page is a sub-page of another page or includes another sub-page, and so on. After the first network device determines the corresponding target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device sends the target hosted program snapshot information to the user device and simultaneously sends the associated hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. When the target hosted program snapshot information is recommended to the user, the associated hosted program snapshot information is sent to the user, so that the information acquired by the user is more comprehensive, and the user experience is improved.

For example, the first network device stores the hosted program snapshot information of "commodity store 1" and "commodity 2", wherein the hosted program snapshot information of "commodity store 1" further includes its access link information "https:// www.XXX.com/xx", and the hosted program snapshot information of "commodity 2" further includes its access link information "https:// www.XXX.com/xx/xxx". The first network device determines that the page corresponding to the snapshot information of the "commodity 2" boarder program is a sub-page of the snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" boarder program according to the two access link information, and the snapshot information of the "commodity 2" boarder program is associated with the snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" boarder program. The first network device determines that the 'commodity store 1' boarder program snapshot information is the target boarder program snapshot information based on the search request information of the user, sends the boarder program snapshot information to the user device, and simultaneously sends the 'commodity 2' boarder program snapshot information to the user device as the associated boarder program snapshot information. The user device receives and presents the "article 2" hosted program snapshot information, and presents its associated hosted program snapshot information in the window while presenting the hosted snapshot information, such as displaying access link information of its associated hosted program snapshot information in a small font below.

In some embodiments, the associated hosted program snapshot information includes upper-layer hosted program snapshot information and/or lower-layer hosted program snapshot information; in step S105, if the access link information of the page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information belongs to the access link information of a hosted program snapshot information in the hosted program snapshot information base, the first network device uses the hosted program snapshot information as the upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information; or, if the access link information of the page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information includes the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information in the hosted program snapshot information base, the first network device uses the hosted program snapshot information as the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information. For example, the first network device determines, according to the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information, whether the page is a sub-page of another page or includes another sub-page, and if the another page is a sub-page of the current hosted program snapshot information, determines that the hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the another page is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the current hosted program snapshot information, and if the another page includes the access link information of the current hosted program snapshot information, determines that the hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the another page is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the current hosted program snapshot information. The hosted program snapshot information is hierarchical in a layered mode, storage is easy, meanwhile, a user can conveniently inquire related results based on the obtained results when searching, and the use experience of the user is improved.

For example, the first network device stores the hosted program snapshot information of "X shopping mall", "commodity store 1", and "commodity 2", wherein the hosted program snapshot information of "X shopping mall" further includes its access link information "https:// www.XXX.com", "hosted program snapshot information of commodity store 1" further includes its access link information "https:// www.XXX.com/xx", and "hosted program snapshot information of commodity 2" further includes its access link information "https:// www.XXX.com/xx/xxx". The first network device determines that the page corresponding to the "article 2" hosted program snapshot information is a sub-page of the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information, the "article 2" hosted program snapshot information is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information, and correspondingly, the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "article store 2" hosted program snapshot information according to the access link information. The first network device determines that a page corresponding to the "X shopping center" hosted program snapshot information contains a page of the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information according to the access link information, the "X shopping center" hosted program snapshot information is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information, and correspondingly, the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "X shopping center" hosted program snapshot information.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises step S106 (not shown). In step S106, the first network device preferentially determines one or more first preferred hosted program snapshot information according to the associated hosted snapshot information of each hosted program snapshot information in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information; in step S104, the first network device returns at least one of the one or more first preferred target hosted program snapshot information and associated hosted program snapshot information of the at least one first preferred target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. For example, the first network device may perform, according to the determined association relationship between the target hosted program snapshot information, optimization on one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and determine corresponding one or more pieces of first preferred hosted program snapshot information; subsequently, the first network device sends at least one of the one or more first preferred target hosted program snapshot information to the user device, while sending the associated hosted program snapshot information of the at least one first preferred target hosted program snapshot information to the user device.

In some embodiments, step S106 includes, but is not limited to: if the dependency relationship exists between two target hosted program snapshot information in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device removes the lower layer hosted program snapshot information in the two target hosted program snapshot information; if the dependency relationship exists between two target hosted program snapshot information in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device removes the upper layer hosted program snapshot information in the two target hosted program snapshot information; if the one or more target hosted program snapshot information includes target hosted program snapshot information, at least one lower layer hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information and upper layer hosted program information of the hosted program snapshot information are also included in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, and the first network device removes the upper layer hosted program snapshot information and the lower layer hosted program information of the target hosted program snapshot information. For example, if two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information have an affiliation relationship in the target hosted program snapshot information determined by the first network device, removing lower-layer hosted program snapshot information in the two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and taking other pieces of target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information, or removing upper-layer hosted program snapshot information in the two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and taking other pieces of target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information; if some target hosted program snapshot information exists in the target hosted program snapshot information, namely the upper-layer hosted program snapshot information, and at least one of the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information in the target hosted program snapshot information exists, the first network device removes the upper-layer hosted program snapshot information and the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information, and takes the remaining target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information. The first network device optimizes the snapshot information of the target hosted program through the association relationship between the target hosted programs, avoids redundancy of feedback information, enables search results of users to be more accurate, and simultaneously sends the snapshot information of the corresponding associated hosted program to the user device when sending the snapshot information of the target hosted program, so that the information is comprehensive.

For example, the one or more target hosted program snapshot information determined by the first network device includes hosted program snapshot information of "article store 1" and "article 2", where the "article 2" hosted program snapshot information is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "article store 1" hosted program snapshot information. The first network device removes the 'article 2' target lodging program snapshot information from one or more target lodging program snapshot information, determines that the 'article store 1' lodging program snapshot information is the first preferred target lodging program snapshot information, sends the lodging program snapshot information to the user device, and simultaneously sends the 'article 2' lodging program snapshot information to the user device as the associated lodging program snapshot information. Or the first network device removes the 'article store 1' target hosted program snapshot information from one or more target hosted program snapshot information, determines that the 'article 2' hosted program snapshot information is the first preferred target hosted program snapshot information, sends the hosted program snapshot information to the user device, and simultaneously sends the 'article store 1' hosted program snapshot information to the user device as the associated hosted program snapshot information.

For another example, the one or more target hosted program snapshot information determined by the first network device includes hosted program snapshot information of "X shopping center", "commodity store 1", and "commodity 2", where the "X shopping center" hosted program snapshot information is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" hosted program snapshot information, and the "commodity 2" hosted program snapshot information is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" hosted program snapshot information.

Fig. 3 shows a first network device for searching hosted programs according to a second aspect of the present application, wherein the device is applicable to the system shown in fig. 1, and specifically comprises a first module 101, a second module 102, a third module 103, and a fourth module 104. A first module 101, configured to establish or update a hosted program snapshot information base regarding one or more hosted programs, where the one or more hosted programs are stored or registered on a first network device, the hosted program snapshot information base includes at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and includes hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program; a second module 102, configured to receive a hosted program search request sent by a user equipment; a third module 103, configured to match a query in the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request, so as to obtain one or more target hosted program snapshot information matched with the hosted program search request; a fourth module 104, configured to return at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information to the user equipment.

Specifically, the first module 101 is configured to establish or update a hosted program snapshot information base regarding one or more hosted programs, where the one or more hosted programs are stored or registered on the first network device, and the hosted program snapshot information base includes at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and includes hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the first network device stores or registers one or more hosted programs and establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs, wherein the first network device may establish or update a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and the corresponding hosted program snapshot information based on hosted program records (such as hosted program search records and the like) of a corresponding large number of users, so as to establish or update the hosted program snapshot information bases of the multiple hosted programs; the first network device may further obtain, from the second network device, a mapping relationship between an index field and corresponding hosted program snapshot information based on a preset data access interface or a search interface, and establish or update a corresponding hosted program record, so as to establish or update a plurality of hosted program snapshot information bases, where the hosted program snapshot information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of plain text content of page content of the hosted program (e.g., plain text of relevant page content corresponding to the hosted program index field inside the hosted program, etc.), link information of page content of the hosted program (e.g., page URL), etc., and the index field includes, but is not limited to, a description key, a search key, etc., corresponding to the hosted program information. In one implementation, the establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and the corresponding hosted program snapshot information may include establishing or updating a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and the hosted program snapshot information and/or the access data information, for example, if the access data information includes link information (e.g., a page URL) of page content of the hosted program, a mapping relationship between the corresponding index field and one or more page URLs in one or more hosted programs may be established or updated, and a page URL of the one hosted program may also be established with one or more index fields. Here, the hosted program snapshot information occupies fewer resources, requires lower bandwidth for transmission, and has wider applicability, compared to the web page content corresponding to the hosted program.

A second module 102, configured to receive a hosted program search request sent by a user device. For example, a user holds a user device, the user device installs an application corresponding to the first network device, the user device establishes a communication connection with the first network device through the application, the user searches for information related to the hosted program inside the application, the user device generates a corresponding hosted program search request based on input information/selection operations (such as selecting a history search record) of the user, and transmits the hosted program search request to the first network device, wherein the hosted program search request includes, but is not limited to, text information, voice information, and the like.

A third module 103, configured to match a query in the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request, so as to obtain one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information that match the hosted program search request. For example, the first network device performs query matching in the hosted program index database according to the received hosted program search request and based on the hosted program search request, to obtain one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information matched therewith, for example, by performing operations such as word segmentation and keyword extraction on text information included in the hosted program search request, to obtain a plurality of keywords included in the hosted program search request, and further performs matching with index fields in the hosted program snapshot information database according to one or more of the plurality of keywords, and if the index fields include one or more of the plurality of keywords, determines the hosted program information corresponding to the index fields as the target hosted program snapshot information, thereby obtaining one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the plurality of keywords.

For example, after the first network device obtains one or more target hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the hosted program search request, at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information is returned to the user device, for example, sorting is performed according to search heat, one or more target hosted program snapshot information ranked higher is returned to the user device, for example, sorting is performed according to usage evaluation of the hosted snapshot program, one or more target hosted program information ranked higher is returned to the user device, and for example, several target hosted program snapshot information is randomly selected from the one or more target hosted program snapshot information and returned to the user device. In one implementation, the information returned to the user device may include one or more of identification information for each target hosted application, page snapshot information for the target hosted application, access link information (e.g., page URL, etc.) for the page content of the target hosted program, and the like.

In some embodiments, the hosted program record further includes hosted program identification information for each hosted program; the third module 103 is configured to match and query the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program search request, so as to obtain one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information that is matched with the hosted program search request and target hosted program identification information corresponding to each piece of target hosted program snapshot information; a fourth module 104, configured to return at least one of the one or more target hosted program snapshot information and target hosted program identification information corresponding to the at least one target hosted program snapshot information to the user equipment. For example, in the hosted program snapshot information base established by the first network device, each hosted program record further includes identification information of the corresponding hosted program, such as a name, an icon, a homepage access address, and the like of the hosted program. The first network device can determine the corresponding snapshot information of the target hosted program, and can also determine the identification information of the target hosted program, and simultaneously send the snapshot information of the target hosted program to the user device, so that the first network device can provide the hosted program information related to the snapshot information for the user, and the user can obtain more comprehensive information.

In some embodiments, the first module 101 is configured to obtain, through a predetermined data access interface, hosted program snapshot information of at least one hosted program from a second network device corresponding to one or more hosted programs stored or registered in the first network device; and establishing or updating a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs according to the hosted program snapshot information, wherein the hosted program snapshot information base comprises at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and comprises hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the predetermined data access interface includes an automatic access interface for requesting a website and extracting data, such as a web crawler that automatically captures website information according to a certain rule; in some implementations of the present application, the data access interface may be opened by the host application to the corresponding hosted program, and the corresponding page of the hosted application may be accessed through the data access interface to obtain snapshot information of the page, where the page to be accessed may be preset by the host application, for example, the host application defaults to access a home page of the hosted application through the data access interface, and in addition, the hosted program may flexibly set or select one or more pages to be accessed based on its own needs, and store related information of the page to be accessed in the data access interface setting. The hosted program snapshot information includes, but is not limited to, relevant content (e.g., page text content and/or page URL, etc.) of the hosted program related page obtained through the data access interface. The first network device obtains corresponding hosted program snapshot information from a second network device corresponding to each hosted program through a predetermined data access interface, wherein the hosted program snapshot information includes web page text contents and the like corresponding to the second network device and capable of being captured. And then, the first network device establishes or updates a hosted program snapshot information base according to the captured webpage contents, if the corresponding index field is determined through each webpage content, the corresponding hosted program record is established or updated, if the network device does not have the hosted program snapshot information base temporarily, the first network device establishes the hosted program snapshot information base related to the hosted programs according to the hosted program records, and if the hosted program snapshot information base is established by the first network device, the first network device updates the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program records. The hosted program snapshot information obtained through the process has stronger pertinence to the search request of the user and higher utilization rate of the hosted program snapshot information.

In some embodiments, the first module 101 is configured to, for one or more hosted programs stored or registered in the first network device, send one or more search request messages to a second network device corresponding to at least one hosted program through a predetermined search interface, and receive search response messages returned by the second network device; and establishing or updating a hosted program snapshot information base related to the one or more hosted programs according to the search response information, wherein the hosted program snapshot information base comprises at least one hosted program record, and each hosted program record corresponds to one of the one or more hosted programs and comprises hosted program snapshot information and an index field of the hosted program. For example, the predetermined search interface is configured to establish a communication connection between the first network device and a second network device corresponding to each hosted program, send predetermined search request information (obtained from big data or a user search record, etc.) to the second network device, and execute a search function inside the second network device to obtain one or more search response information of the second network device corresponding to each hosted program, where the search response information includes, but is not limited to, page-related content (such as page text content or page URL, etc.) related to the hosted program searched by the keyword in the search request information. The first network device creates or updates a plurality of boarder program records related to a plurality of boarder programs according to the keywords contained in the search request information and the corresponding received one or more search response information. If the network device has no hosted program index database temporarily, the first network device establishes a hosted program snapshot information base related to the hosted programs according to the hosted program records, and if the first network device has established the hosted program snapshot information base, the first network device updates the hosted program snapshot information base according to the hosted program records.

For example, the hosted program snapshot information further includes access link information of a page corresponding to the search request, and the first network device may determine, based on the access link information of each hosted program snapshot information, associated hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information, such as determining, according to the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information, whether the page is a sub-page of another page or includes another sub-page, and so on. After the first network device determines the corresponding target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device sends the target hosted program snapshot information to the user device and simultaneously sends the associated hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. When the target hosted program snapshot information is recommended to the user, the associated hosted program snapshot information is sent to the user, so that the information acquired by the user is more comprehensive, and the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, the associated hosted program snapshot information includes upper-layer hosted program snapshot information and/or lower-layer hosted program snapshot information; a fifth module 105, configured to use the hosted program snapshot information as upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information if the access link information of the page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information belongs to access link information of a hosted program snapshot information in the hosted program snapshot information base; or, if the access link information of the page corresponding to the hosted program snapshot information includes the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information in the hosted program snapshot information base, the first network device uses the hosted program snapshot information as the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the hosted program snapshot information. For example, the first network device determines, according to the access link information of the hosted program snapshot information, whether the page is a sub-page of another page or includes another sub-page, and if the another page is a sub-page of the current hosted program snapshot information, determines that the hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the another page is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the current hosted program snapshot information, and if the another page includes the access link information of the current hosted program snapshot information, determines that the hosted program snapshot information corresponding to the another page is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the current hosted program snapshot information. The hosted program snapshot information is hierarchical in a layered mode, storage is easy, meanwhile, a user can conveniently inquire related results based on the obtained results when searching, and the use experience of the user is improved.

For example, the first network device may perform, according to the determined association relationship between the target hosted program snapshot information, optimization on one or more pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and determine corresponding one or more pieces of first preferred hosted program snapshot information; subsequently, the first network device sends at least one of the one or more first preferred target hosted program snapshot information to the user device, while sending the associated hosted program snapshot information of the at least one first preferred target hosted program snapshot information to the user device. In some embodiments, the sixth module 106 includes, but is not limited to: if the dependency relationship exists between two target hosted program snapshot information in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device removes the lower layer hosted program snapshot information in the two target hosted program snapshot information; if the dependency relationship exists between two target hosted program snapshot information in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, the first network device removes the upper layer hosted program snapshot information in the two target hosted program snapshot information; if the one or more target hosted program snapshot information includes target hosted program snapshot information, at least one lower layer hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information and upper layer hosted program information of the hosted program snapshot information are also included in the one or more target hosted program snapshot information, and the first network device removes the upper layer hosted program snapshot information and the lower layer hosted program information of the target hosted program snapshot information. For example, if two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information have an affiliation relationship in the target hosted program snapshot information determined by the first network device, removing lower-layer hosted program snapshot information in the two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and taking other pieces of target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information, or removing upper-layer hosted program snapshot information in the two pieces of target hosted program snapshot information, and taking other pieces of target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information; if some target hosted program snapshot information exists in the target hosted program snapshot information, namely the upper-layer hosted program snapshot information, and at least one of the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information in the target hosted program snapshot information exists, the first network device removes the upper-layer hosted program snapshot information and the lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the target hosted program snapshot information, and takes the remaining target hosted program snapshot information as first preferred target hosted program snapshot information. The first network device optimizes the snapshot information of the target hosted program through the association relationship between the target hosted programs, avoids redundancy of feedback information, enables search results of users to be more accurate, and simultaneously sends the snapshot information of the corresponding associated hosted program to the user device when sending the snapshot information of the target hosted program, so that the information is comprehensive.

For another example, the one or more target hosted program snapshot information determined by the first network device includes hosted program snapshot information of "X shopping center", "commodity store 1", and "commodity 2", where the "X shopping center" hosted program snapshot information is upper-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" hosted program snapshot information, and the "commodity 2" hosted program snapshot information is lower-layer hosted program snapshot information of the "commodity store 1" hosted program snapshot information. The first network device removes the 'X shopping center' and 'commodity 2' target lodging program snapshot information from one or more target lodging program snapshot information, determines that the 'commodity store 1' lodging program snapshot information is the first preferred target lodging program snapshot information, sends the lodging program snapshot information to the user device, and simultaneously sends the 'X shopping center' and 'commodity 2' lodging program snapshot information to the user device as the associated lodging program snapshot information. The search record information is optimized based on the user, the search result which is biased to the user preference can be obtained, the hit rate is higher, and the use experience of the user is improved.
