Referring to fig. 2a, fig. 2a is a schematic flowchart of a searching method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The searching method at least comprises the following steps S201 to S203:

s201, obtaining an operation instruction of a search function entry aiming at the instant messaging application.

In one embodiment, the instant messaging application is software which is based on the internet and realizes online chat and communication through instant messaging technology, can be operated in a terminal device as an application client, and has various functional modules, such as sending and receiving mails, browsing articles, collecting texts, storing cloud documents and the like. Searching is one of important functions in instant messaging applications, existing contents in the instant messaging applications can be quickly acquired through searching, and usually a user can directly start searching or start searching after executing preparation work of searching by operating at a searching function entry. The searching function entry is a searching main entry of the instant messaging application, so that the contents in all the function modules in the instant messaging application can be searched through the searching main entry, and comprehensive searching is realized. In this embodiment, the operation instruction for the search function entry may be generated by clicking the search function entry or waking up the search function in a voice manner, and the terminal device can acquire the operation instruction and then execute the subsequent processing content. The content and the obtaining manner of the operation instruction are not limited herein.

S202, responding to the operation instruction, and displaying a search record page in the instant messaging application.

In an embodiment, the search record page includes one or more historical search records in the search record set, the historical search records including one or both of historical search keywords and historical search results. Optionally, the historical search results include one or more of contacts, groups, applications, emails, favorites, and chat records in the instant messaging application. The historical search records in the search record set can be determined according to the relevant rules, because some parts may be invalid for the content searched by the user, for example, the user inputs a search keyword to initiate a first search, but there is no desired search result or the search result is empty, the search keyword is re-input to initiate a search, the first search is actually an invalid search, and the previously input search keyword is not added as a historical search record to the search record set, so that the usefulness of the historical search records can be ensured, and the redundancy of the historical search records in the search record set is reduced. It should be noted that the application in the instant messaging application may refer to a collection of some conventional tools and management functions, such as receiving and paying, cloud meeting, screen projection, printing, and the like, and is not limited herein.

Each historical search record displayed in the search record page can be a historical search keyword or a historical search result, and is an effective search recorded by the user before the search function is started. The terminal device responds to an operation instruction aiming at the search function inlet, displays a search record page in the instant messaging application, and displays one or more historical search records in the search record page, wherein the one or more historical search records belong to part or all of the content in the search record set. The history search records may be history search records stored in the local storage space or history search records backed up by the server, and when the history search records need to be acquired, the history search records may be preferentially read from the local storage space, and if the history search records do not exist in the local storage space, the history search records may be acquired from the server.

In an embodiment, for any historical search record included in the search record page, if any historical search record is a historical search result, where the historical search result includes a contact or a group in an address book of the instant messaging application, the search record page includes a name and an indication icon of the contact, or a name, an indication icon, and a number of members of the group. The history search records displayed on the search record page may include two types, one is a history search keyword, the other is a history search result, and the history search result may be a search result clicked by the user. In this embodiment, a group, that is, a group chat, exists in an address book of an instant messaging application used by a user, and a contact, that is, a friend in the address book, displays content including a name and an indication icon when a history search record displayed on a search record page is a contact, where the name of the contact may be matched with a history search keyword, and the indication icon of the contact may be a head portrait used by the contact. The historical search records displayed on the search record page are group chats, and the number of people in the group chats can be displayed besides the names and the head portraits of the group chats. In addition, if any one history search record is a history search keyword, the search record page directly shows the history search keyword.

Please refer to fig. 2b, which is a schematic diagram of a search function interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2b, the search function interface displayed in the smart phone includes a data input area 201 and a search record display area 202, where the data input area 201 corresponds to the search function entry, the search record display area 202 is a search record page, and a user can input an operation instruction in the data input area 201 to display the search record display area 202 and the data input area 201 together on a screen of the terminal device. In the search log display area 202, a history search log is formed by a contact, a group and some history search keywords, it can be found that the display of the contact and the group includes a corresponding name and an icon, the group also includes the number of members, and the history search keywords are a pure text display. Please refer to fig. 2c, which is a schematic diagram of another search function interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, the search function interface is presented in an instant messenger application of a personal computer device, and is presented in a slightly different manner compared with the search function interface shown in fig. 2b, the search function interface is only a part of a content interface presented by the instant messenger application, and besides, the search function interface further includes a message receiving area 203b, a session window area 204b, and the like.

S203, responding to a trigger instruction aiming at a target historical search record in one or more historical search records, acquiring a first search result corresponding to the target historical search record, and displaying a content page corresponding to the first search result.

In an embodiment, the first search result is a historical search result included in the target historical search record or a search result determined according to a historical search keyword included in the target historical search record. Since the target historical search record is any one of one or more historical search records displayed on the search record page, accordingly, the target historical search record may include any one of a historical search keyword or a historical search result, the first search result may be a search result determined according to the historical search keyword included in the target historical search record, and may include a plurality of search result cards, or when the target historical search record includes the historical search result, the historical search result is a current search result, and may be considered as a uniquely determined search result card. For example, the user may click any one of the history search records shown in the search record page shown in fig. 2b or fig. 2c, generate a trigger instruction, and the terminal device, in response to the trigger instruction, initiates a search based on the history search record, obtains a first search result corresponding to the target history search record, where the first search result is a search result determined according to the history search keyword if the target history search record is the history search keyword, and the history search result is used as the first search result if the target history search record is the history search result. When a first search result corresponding to the target historical search record is acquired in response to a trigger instruction for the target historical search record and a content page corresponding to the first search result is displayed in the terminal device, the content page can be distinguished according to different target historical search records.

It can be found that the history search records provided for the user are a very convenient search mode, because when the user needs to use the records before searching again in the following, the corresponding history search records only need to be clicked in one or more history search records in the search record display page, the client of the instant messaging application can automatically initiate the corresponding search request, and the starting speed of the search process is improved. And for a complex search request, such as a search with a long search keyword, the user only needs to input the search manually once, and the search can be initiated by clicking the reusable historical search keyword when the search is used again, so that the search time is saved for the user, and the search efficiency is improved.

Optionally, the target historical search record may also be a historical search keyword or a historical search result, and an implementation manner of displaying the content page corresponding to the first search result includes: judging whether the target historical search record is a historical search result, wherein the historical search result comprises contacts or groups in an address book of the instant messaging application; if so, displaying a conversation page of the contact person or the group; and if not, displaying the content page of the first search result. Since the target historical search record may be a historical search result or a historical search keyword, when the target historical search record is a historical search result, optionally, the historical search result may be a contact or a group in an address book of the instant messaging application, and for the display form of the historical search record such as the contact and the group, reference may be made to the foregoing example content, which is not described herein again. Further, when it is determined that the target history search record is the history search result, a session page of a contact or a group chat may be displayed, where the session page is a content page corresponding to the first search result, please refer to fig. 3a, which is a schematic diagram of a session page provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3a, a user selects a history search record of "zhang san" of a contact from the search record page, that is, the target history search record is also the history search result, and the corresponding first search result is zhang san, which directly displays a session window of zhang san to the terminal and serves as the session page.

If the target historical search record is not a historical search result, namely the target historical search record is indicated to be other historical search keywords except for contacts and groups, namely the historical search keywords are reused by the user, a content page corresponding to the first search result determined according to the historical search keywords is displayed in the terminal equipment. The content page includes one or more search results that match the multiplexed historical search keywords, such as search results from an application in an instant messaging application, chat logs, favorites, email, dynamic, etc. modules. The user can select the required search results from the content page, and the number of the user selections and the presentation form of the content page are not limited herein. Referring to fig. 3b, which is a schematic diagram of a content page provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3b, a user selects a historical search record "product plan" from a search record page, which belongs to a historical search keyword, uses the historical search record as a target historical search record, obtains a corresponding first search result, that is, a plurality of real-time search results matched with the "product plan", and displays the real-time search result in a content page, where the content page is also a search result page obtained by multiplexing the historical search keyword this time and initiating a search by a terminal device.

In summary, the embodiments of the present application have at least the following advantages:

in a search scene of the instant messaging application, the historical search records are displayed according to the historical search records or search habits of a user, the historical search records are displayed in the instant messaging application, a convenient and quick search entry is provided for the user, particularly, for a large number of search requests which are repeated for many times and at high frequency, the repeated input of search keywords by the user is avoided, the request can be directly initiated by multiplexing the historical search keywords through executing simple trigger operation (such as clicking), and then the request is jumped to a content page corresponding to a search result, so that the convenience degree and the speed of searching in the instant messaging application are improved, and the searching of the user is more efficient.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a searching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the searching method at least includes the following steps S401 to S403:

s401, acquiring the input search keyword, and acquiring one or more search results corresponding to the search keyword.

In an embodiment, a user may input a search keyword at a search function entry of an instant messaging application, optionally, the search keyword may be input by voice or manually, the terminal device obtains the input search keyword, may match a corresponding search result according to the search keyword, and the search result may be one or more search results or may be null. The content of the search keyword, the input method, and the number of search results are not limited herein. The terminal device can acquire the input search keyword at any time, for example, if the search record set cached in the instant messaging application is empty, that is, when no history search record is displayed on the terminal device, the user wants to use the search function, and can not access the terminal device quickly through the display of the history search record, but needs to input the search keyword. Of course, even if the history search record is presented in the terminal device, the user may select to input the search keyword in the corresponding data input area. It should be noted that the input search keyword is not acquired from the history search record, and on the contrary, the history search record needs to be created according to the search keyword, so that the search keyword related to the following, that is, the input search keyword acquired in this step, may alternatively be taken as the history keyword or a search result corresponding to the input keyword as the history search result when the input keyword is determined to be a valid search. The determination on the effective search may be performed by combining the search results with the operation behavior of the user, or may adopt another manner, for example, if the number of the search results is greater than a set threshold, the search is regarded as an effective search, which is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, obtaining one or more search results corresponding to the search keyword may include: searching a target contact corresponding to the search keyword from an address book of the instant messaging application; if the target contact person corresponding to the search keyword is inquired, inquiring a first group comprising the target contact person from an address book of the instant messaging application; inquiring a second group corresponding to the search keyword from the address book of the instant messaging application; and taking the target contact, the first group and the second group as search results corresponding to the search keywords. When the terminal acquires the input search keyword, whether a contact name corresponding to the search keyword exists in an address book of the instant messaging application can be preferentially inquired, if the target contact can be inquired, a first group where the target contact is located in the instant messaging application can be further inquired, meanwhile, a second group corresponding to the input search keyword can be inquired according to the input search keyword, namely whether the group name comprises the search keyword or is consistent with the search keyword is checked, and if the group name and the search keyword can be inquired, the first group, the second group and the target contact are obtained and serve as search results.

In addition, if the corresponding contact or group cannot be queried in the address book of the instant messaging application according to the input search keyword, search results matched with the search keyword can be queried in other modules of the instant messaging application, such as chat records, favorites, mails, information and the like.

It should be noted that the terminal device may automatically initiate a search on the search result page according to the input search keyword, to quickly obtain the search result corresponding to the search keyword, or may manually initiate a search by the user, for example, after the search keyword is input, the enter identifier is clicked to initiate a search, and then the search result corresponding to the search keyword is obtained, where a search starting manner is not limited.

S402, displaying one or more search results through the search result page.

In an embodiment, a search result obtained according to an input search keyword may be displayed in a search result page. If one or more search results are divided according to the function modules to which the instant messaging application belongs, the search results may also include one or more search results, for example, please refer to fig. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a search result page provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, the search result page includes a plurality of search results corresponding to the input search keyword "product plan", and the plurality of search results respectively relate to search results of several function modules, such as a contact, a group, a chat log, a favorite, an email, and information. Of course, this does not mean that the instant messaging application only includes these function modules, the display of the search result is to indicate that there is corresponding content in these function modules, and apart from these, the instant messaging application may also include application functions, document storage, and the like, which is not limited herein.

And S403, responding to a trigger instruction for a second search result in the one or more search results, determining a historical search record corresponding to the search keyword according to the search keyword or the second search result, and adding the historical search record corresponding to the search keyword into the search record set.

In an embodiment, the user may select a desired search result, that is, a second search result, from one or more search results presented in the search result page, and further, on the premise that the search result page presents at least two search results corresponding to the input search keyword, the second search result may be multiple, and the number of search results selected by the user at one time is not limited herein. The terminal device responds to a trigger instruction for the second search result, such as a single click, a double click or a long press, and the generation mode of the trigger instruction is not limited, so that the historical search record can be determined according to the input search keyword and the search result selected by the user, that is, as long as the user selects any search result from the search result page displayed according to the input search keyword in a certain mode, the search result is determined as an effective search, and the determined effective search can be regarded as the historical search record and added to the search record set. Optionally, the history search record corresponding to the search keyword input this time may be determined according to the second search result selected by the user, in other words, the history search record is generated according to the second search result, that is, the selected second search result is included in the search record set as the history search result, and in addition, the history search record corresponding to the search keyword input this time may also be determined according to the search keyword, that is, the search keyword input this time is used as the history search keyword, and the history search keyword is included in the search record set as the determined history search record. It should be noted that the search record set may be stored in a local storage space, and may also be sent to a server for backup, when it needs to be used, the historical search record is preferentially read from the local storage space, if the local storage space does not exist, the historical search record is obtained from the server, if neither the server nor the local storage space has the historical search record, the user is required to input a search keyword, step S401 is executed, and when the historical search record is determined according to the search keyword, the historical search record is stored or backed up in a corresponding storage device.

Further, an optional implementation manner of determining the historical search record corresponding to the search keyword according to the search keyword or the second search result may include: judging whether the second search result is one of a contact person corresponding to the search keyword in the address book of the instant messaging application, a group comprising the contact person and a group corresponding to the search keyword; if so, taking the second search result as a historical search record corresponding to the search keyword; and if not, determining the search keyword as a historical search record corresponding to the search keyword. Generally, if a search keyword input by a user is identification information such as a name of a contact in an address book of an instant messaging application or an ID identifying the contact, a search result may show the contact and a group in which the contact is located. When the user selects the second search result from the search results corresponding to the input search keyword, if the second search result corresponds to any one of a contact, a group including the contact and a group corresponding to the search keyword, the second search result may be used as a history search record, in short, the related information of the contact or the group is used as the history search record, the history search record may be the same as the input search keyword, or may be a record including the input search keyword but different from the input search keyword, for example, the input search keyword is "zhang", the search entry may display the search result related to the search keyword in real time and intelligently according to the search keyword input by the user, for example, the search result includes "zhang san", "zhang", a chat record "\\ 8230", a picture "," zhang 8230 ", a chat group of" open-word courtesy matters ", etc., at this time, the search result required by the user appears, the input of the search keyword is stopped, and the user selects" plain-word group ", and the history search result may include only a history search keyword icon, but not a history search keyword input icon. If the second search result is a search result in the instant messaging application except for the contact and the group, the search keyword is directly used as the historical search record, and the historical search record can be exactly the same as the input search keyword. A plurality of second search results in the one or more search results may be triggered at the same time, that is, when a plurality of selected second search results are selected, a plurality of historical search records may be generated at the same time, and if 3 different contacts are clicked, the 3 contacts are taken as 3 historical search records at the same time.

Still taking the search keyword input by the user as "product plan" as an example for explanation, the search result displayed on the search page includes the search results of several modules, namely, the contact, the group (including the group where the contact is located and the group including the search keyword), the chat log, the collection, the mail and the information, if the user clicks any one search result in the contact or the group, the related information of the contact or the group is used as the history search log, for example, the "product plan-week" search result is clicked, the "product plan-week" is used as the history search log to be added to the search log set, and the search is reused when waiting for the next search. If the user clicks any one search result of the chat records, the collections, the mails and the information, the search keyword 'product plan' is used as a historical search record and is recorded in the search record set.

In some cases, the search keyword is recorded instead of the search result, so that the user can be prevented from repeatedly inputting the search keyword for many times, but the search keyword is accessed through a quick entry of the historical search record, the search time and the search cost are saved, and when the historical search record is the historical search keyword, the search result corresponding to the historical search record can be changed and updated in real time, for example, only 3 search results are searched in the current search, then 4 search results or 2 search results can be searched in the next time of reusing the historical search record, and the update of the search result can be added or deleted according to the operation of the user in the instant messaging application without limitation.

It should be noted that the scheme provided in this embodiment may be executed before the embodiment S201 corresponding to fig. 2a, or may be executed after the embodiment S203 corresponding to fig. 2a, and the order of execution in combination with other embodiments is not limited herein.

the historical search records can be determined according to the search results corresponding to the input search keywords, and the historical search records can be reused by the user through recording the historical search records, so that quick access can be realized by using the historical search records, and the search cost is reduced. Optionally, according to whether the search result selected by the user is a contact or a group in the instant messaging application address list, whether the search result is used as a historical search record or an input search keyword is directly recorded is determined, and the priority of quick access of the contact or the group in a specific scene is improved.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a searching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the searching method at least includes the following steps S601 to S604:

s601, obtaining an operation instruction of a search function entry aiming at the instant messaging application.

The specific content of this step can be referred to as S201 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2a, which is not described herein again.

S602, responding to the operation instruction, acquiring a search record set, and determining the number of historical search records in the search record set.

In an embodiment, when a user inputs an operation instruction in a terminal device, the terminal device first acquires a search record set by responding to the operation instruction, and determines how many historical search records are included in the search record set, that is, the number of the historical search records, where the number is mainly used to determine how many historical search records in the search record set are shown to a search record page. It should be noted that the search record set is effectively searched and determined according to the input search keyword, so as to be updated in real time, and the currently acquired search record set can be considered to be the latest statistics before the time point of issuing the operation instruction.

S603, if the number of the historical search records in the search record set is greater than or equal to a first preset number, determining a first search record subset from the search record set according to the adding time of each historical search record in the search record set.

In an embodiment, the first subset of search records includes a first preset number of historical search records. The first preset number may be determined by limiting the number of rows of the historical search records displayed on the search record page and the number of characters of each historical search record, for example, the search record page displays at most 3 rows of the historical search records, each historical search record displays at most 8 characters (numbers, letters or Chinese characters), and "\8230;" is used instead, and the first preset number is not limited herein. Comparing the number of the historical search records in the search record set with the first preset number, if the number is greater than or equal to the first preset number, arranging the historical search records in a reverse order according to the time of adding the historical search records into the search set, wherein the reverse order refers to the order from the nearest adding time to the farthest adding time, in other words, the intervals between the adding time of the historical search records and the current time point are arranged from small to large. Assuming that the first preset number is N, where N is a positive integer, N historical search records before arrangement are used as the first search record subset, of course, the first search record subset may also be obtained by arranging the addition time from far to near, the addition time for the historical search records is compared under a unified standard, the unit of the addition time may be the minimum statistical unit of time, such as second, and the unit of the addition time is not limited herein.

And S604, displaying a search record page in the instant messaging application, and displaying the historical search records included in the first search record subset in the search record page.

In an embodiment, the obtained first subset of search records is displayed on a search record page of the instant messaging application, such as the historical search records displayed in the search record page shown in fig. 2b or fig. 2c, which may be regarded as a first subset of search records. The historical search records with the first preset number in the first search record subset can enable a user to pay attention to a plurality of current recent historical search records, and some historical search records with slightly long search time can be hidden to a next page or selected not to be displayed, so that the simplicity of an interface can be improved, the latest historical search records can be quickly reused, and the search efficiency is improved.

Further expanding the display of the search record page, the method may further include: in response to an update instruction for the historical search records displayed in the search record interface, determining a second search record subset from the search record set according to the adding time of each historical search record in the search record set, wherein the second search record subset comprises a second preset number of historical search records; and displaying the historical search records included in the second subset of search records in the search record page. Alternatively, the update instruction for the historical search record may be triggered by up-down sliding, up-down page turning, and left-right page turning buttons on the search record interface. When the terminal device responds to the update instruction, and the first search record subset is determined to be similar, the second search record subset may be determined according to the adding time of the historical search records, for example, the historical search records of the second preset number are selected according to the arrangement of the adding time from the current time point from small to large, optionally, the second preset number may be different from or the same as the first preset number, and is not limited herein. Please refer to fig. 7a, which is a schematic diagram of sliding up and down to update historical search records according to an embodiment of the present application, wherein the displayed historical search records are a first search record subset, and a user can update the historical search content currently displayed on a search record page by pulling an up-down slider, as shown in fig. 7b, the historical search records different from fig. 7a are displayed in the search record page, and these historical search records are a second search record subset. Please refer to fig. 7c, which is a schematic diagram of updating a history search record by page turning up and down, fig. 7d is a schematic diagram of updating a history search record by page turning left and right, which is provided by the embodiment of the present application, and by clicking a button for page turning up and down or page turning left and right, all history search records currently displayed on a search record page can be replaced, so as to achieve faster display of the history search record, and a corresponding effect diagram may refer to the content shown in fig. 7b, which is not described herein again. In addition, if the number of the historical search records in the search record set is less than the first preset number, all the historical search records in the search record set can be displayed on the search record page without determining the first search record subset or the second search record subset from the search record page, that is, one search record page displays all the historical search records without hiding or turning pages.

the switching or replacement of the historical search records is supported on the search record page, the historical search records with longer recording time lines are provided for the user without being limited to part of the historical search record display with the preset number, the comprehensiveness of the historical search records is guaranteed, the convenience of the user in the process of searching for the repeated historical search records is further improved, and the search efficiency is improved.

Please refer to fig. 8, which is a schematic flow chart of a search method according to an embodiment of the present application based on the search scheme provided in the foregoing embodiment.

Firstly, in instant messaging application, a user opens a home page search interface, and enters a comprehensive search entry each time, a search history record (namely a historical search record) is preferentially acquired, namely whether the search history record exists in the local of a query terminal device is inquired, if no search history record exists, a default empty page is displayed, namely the search record page does not have the historical search record; if the search history exists, the search history can be displayed for the user to quickly select.

Then, when the history search record is displayed in the terminal device, whether the user clicks the history search record is judged, wherein the history search record is clicked as a result of one branch, and further judgment is needed in the branch to obtain a final result of the search, including three judgments on the history search record. Optionally, the sequence or relationship of the three determinations may be that whether a contact is clicked is determined, if yes, a single chat session is entered, that is, a session page related to the contact is displayed in the terminal device, if no, a judgment whether a group chat is clicked is entered, next, if a group chat is clicked, a group chat session is entered, that is, a session page related to the group chat is displayed in the terminal device, if no group chat is clicked, a judgment whether other items are clicked is entered, if other items are clicked, a search result page is entered, and if no other items are clicked, the search is ended, where the other items are history search records other than the contact and the group chat, for example, chat records, applications, and collections corresponding to history search keywords may be referred to as items, and a search result corresponding to a history search record "product policy" in fig. 5 includes a plurality of items, including a contact, a group, a mail, and the like. The order or relationship of the three determinations of whether to click on the contact, click on the group chat, and click on another item is not limited to the order shown in the figure.

Another branch result is that the historical search record is not clicked, that is, the user does not select to reuse the existing historical search record to initiate a search, but selects to manually input a search keyword to initiate a search, so that the historical search record can be determined according to the search keyword input by the user and the click behavior.

Then, after a search is initiated according to the manually input search keyword and a search result is obtained, it is necessary to determine what kind of search result is clicked. Whether a contact is clicked or not can be judged, if yes, an effective historical search record (namely an effective search history) is generated according to contact information, if not, judgment of whether group chat is clicked or not is carried out, if the group chat is clicked, the effective historical search record can be generated according to the group chat information, if not, other items are continuously judged to be clicked, if yes, the effective historical search record is generated according to input search keywords, and if not, the search is ended. Likewise, the order or relationship of the three determinations of whether to click on a contact, click on a group chat, and click on another item is not limited to the order shown in the figures.

For the comprehensive home page search scenario, after a user initiates a search, when the user clicks contents in a search result list, it is determined that a currently clicked item is a contact, a group chat or others. If the contact person is the contact person, storing the contact person information into a history search record; if the group chat is performed, storing the group chat information into a historical search record; if the search keyword is of other types, the currently input search keyword is stored in the historical search record. Therefore, when the method is used, the method can further judge which item the clicked historical search record is, so that the method jumps to a corresponding page, such as a conversation page corresponding to group chat or a contact, and the other pages are pop-up search result pages. In the instant messaging application with high search frequency and complex search scenes, based on the convenient and fast search mode, not only can the accurate and effective search results be ensured, but also the search efficiency can be higher.
