[0043] S101, displaying search classifications on a search interface of the client, the search classifications comprising web page, image, video and/or article.
[0044] As for a same search keyword, there are many corresponding search results that may belong to different classifications. For example, search results corresponding to the search keyword "1942" may be an article recording a certain history event that happened in 1942, or may be the movie "Back To 1942" recently shown on line. To improve the search efficiency, search classifications can be shown on a search interface of a client and the search classifications include web page, image, video and/or article, etc. As such, when the user is intended to search the movie, he can firstly select a video sub-interface of the search interface, and then perform related subsequent operations. For example, if the user is intended to watch the movie "Back To 1942" recently shown on line, then the user can firstly select the video sub-interface of the search interface, and then perform related subsequent operations, e.g., clicking a "play" button to play on line. Therefore, it will not incur that after the operation on the search results of "1942", what is gotten is an article recording a certain history event that happened in 1942.
[0045] SI 02, obtaining an inputted search keyword.
[0046] In the example of the present disclosure, the search keyword inputted by the user can be received from a search engine main page of the browser or from an input box of a search tool (e.g., an address bar or a search bar, etc.). Of course, the present disclosure can use other commonly used methods to obtain the search keyword, and the present disclosure should not be limited to this. Among these, the search keyword can be directly inputted by the user and can also be parsed according to the user's input. The present disclosure has not defined the specific method of "input", and when using the present disclosure, a variety of input methods can be used. For example, a keyboard input method (including a virtual keyboard or a physical keyboard, etc.), a copy and paste method, a link automatic selection method (e.g., starting the search engine after the mouse selects a certain word), a speech input method, a touch screen/board trajectory input method, etc. can be used.
[0047] S103, performing the search according to the search keyword and displaying search results of the search on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications.
[0048] In the example of the present disclosure, the search according to the inputted search keyword is performed backstage, while display of the search results can be performed on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications of the client, and the specific display position can be a dropdown box below an input box. What needs to be specified is that the "search result" here does not mean final present of an object that the user needs to search, but is a primary result gotten by association according to the keyword. For example, when the user inputs a search keyword "WeChat", after the search is performed backstage, the search results shown on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications of the client may be "WeChat", "WeChat free download" and "WeChat version 2012", etc.
[0049] To find the content that the user actually needs to search as quickly as possible and to improve the search efficiency, as an example of the present disclosure that performs the search according to the search keyword and displays the search results on a search interface corresponding to the search classifications of the client, it can match the preference degree of the user for the search results corresponding to the search keyword after the search is performed according to the search keyword. Specifically, since when the user uses the search engine, he will select web pages that he needs from a search result index page by viewing information such as abstracts or names, etc., e.g., surfing web sites by clicking hyperlinks on the search result index page. By recording related information of "search key word click operation" of the user, when the user inputs a certain search keyword, it can match the preference degree of the search results corresponding to the search keyword of the user. Among them, the preference degree of the user for the search results corresponding to the search keyword can be measured by the number of times viewing the search results, for example, the more views of a certain search result, the higher degree that the user prefers the search result; it can also be measured according to the view duration, whether copy and/or save operation(s) being performed, etc., for a certain search result page that is opened.
[0050] After matching the preference degree of the user for the corresponding search results of the search keyword, only the search results with high preference degree may be displayed on the search interface of the client, and therefore, the efficiency of the user searching the target content is highly improved.
[0051] SI 04, after an operation for a certain search result in the search results is received from the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, accessing the content corresponding to the certain search result directly.
[0052] In the example of the present disclosure, the operation for the certain search result in the search results comprises clicking the certain search result in the search results, or clicking a functional button adjacent to the certain search result. For example, when the search keyword "WeChat" is inputted and the search results displayed on the search interface of the client are "WeChat", "WeChat free download" and "WeChat version 2012", if the "WeChat version 2012" is the search result that the user wants, then the user clicks the search result of "WeChat version 2012" directly, and accesses the content corresponding to the search result of "WeChat version 2012", e.g., a web page, etc. In the example of the present disclosure, functional buttons, e.g., buttons of "download", "play", etc. can be shown adjacent to the search results. Therefore, the operation for the certain search result in the search results can be clicking the functional button displayed adjacent to the certain search result in the search results, for example, when the inputted search keyword is "ice and fire", and the search results shown on the search interface of the client may be "ice and fire", "ice and fire pdf ', "a song of ice and fire", etc. And if the purpose of the user performing the search is to watch the new movie "a song of ice and fire" on line, he can directly press the functional button "play" shown adjacent to "a song of ice and fire" and directly access the content corresponding to the search result of "a song of ice and fire", i.e., playing the movie "a song of ice and fire" on line directly. [0053] In the example of the present disclosure, if the displayed page of the direct search is not consistent with what the user needs at this time, then the user can perform a backward operation to display a search result index page. The so called search result index page is a web page that the search engine displays the search results gotten after processing and organizing , e.g., with high preference degree, to the user according to the search keyword provided by the user. In other words, in the example of the present disclosure, when a certain search result is incorrect, a search result index page of the real-time search of this time can be shown to the user, without affecting the normal usage of the search engine. Specifically, the backward operation can be realized in various ways, e.g., directly clicking a backward button on the browser; or clicking a backward button on a floating window or on a direct search tool bar, to realize the execution of the backward operation. Of course, it should be noted that the backward operation is not the traditional backward operation, and in fact, the search result index page gotten from the backward operation has not been displayed before.
[0054] As is known from the direct search method provided by the example of the present disclosure, since when the search results are displayed on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, after an operation for a certain search result in the search results is performed, the content corresponding to the certain search result can be accessed directly. Compared with the fact that in the prior art, the search engines in the existing technology can only return links of a plenty of search results and a user needs to open the respective links one by one to find the content he actually needs, the method provided by the example of the present disclosure can precisely position a search object of the user, reduce the interference of useless information, rapidly find the content that the user actually needs to search, and improve the search efficiency of massive information.
[0055] Please refer to Fig.2, it is a schematic diagram of a structure of the direct search apparatus provided by an example of the present disclosure. To facilitate illustration, only a part related to the example of the present disclosure is shown. The direct search apparatus shown in Fig.2 can be a browser of a personal computer or a browser of a mobile terminal, or a certain functional module/unit of a PC browser or a mobile terminal browser, which comprises a keyword obtaining module 201, a result display module 202, a direct access module 203 and a classified display module 204, wherein:
[0056] the classified display module 204 is configured to display search classifications on a search interface of a client, and the search classifications include web page, image, video and/or article;
[0057] the keyword obtaining module 201 is configured to obtain an inputted search keyword;
[0058] the result display module 202 is configured to perform search according to the search keyword obtained by the keyword obtaining module 201 and display search results of the search on a search interface corresponding to the search classifications; and
[0059] the direct access module 203 is configured to, after it receives an operation for a certain search result in the search results via the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, directly access the content corresponding to the certain search result. Among these, the operation for the certain search result in the search results comprises clicking the certain search result in the search results or clicking a functional button displayed adjacent to the certain search result, etc.
[0060] It is to be noted that, in the above example of the direct search apparatus, the division of the respective functional modules is only used for illustration, and in the implementation, it can be divided as needs, e.g., in consideration of the configuration requirements of corresponding hardware or convenience of realization by software, the above functions can be allocated to and carried out by different functional modules, that is, the inner structure of the direct search apparatus is divided into different functional modules to carry out the above all of or a part of functions. Meanwhile, in the practice, the corresponding functional modules in the present example can be realized by corresponding hardware and can also be carried out by corresponding software that is executed by corresponding hardware, e.g., the above mentioned result display module can be hardware that carries out the search according to the search keyword obtained by the keyword obtaining module (or the keyword obtainer) and displaying the search results of the search on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, e.g., a result displayer, and it may be a general processor or other hardware that can execute corresponding computer programs so as to carry out the above mentioned functions; further, regarding the direct access module mentioned above, it may be hardware that has a function of, after receiving an operation for a certain search result in the search results via the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, accessing the content corresponding to the certain search result directly, e.g., a direct accessor, or may be a general processor or other hardware device that can execute corresponding computer programs so as to carry out the above functions ( the above described principle is applicable to various examples provided by the present disclosure).
[0061] The exemplary result display module 202 of Fig.2 may comprise a matching unit 301 and a display module 302, as the direct search apparatus provided by another example of the present disclosure as shown in Fig.3, wherein:
[0062] the matching unit 301 is configured to match the preference degree of the user for the search results corresponding to the search keyword after the search is performed according to the search keyword; and
[0063] the display unit 302 is configured to display the search results with a high preference degree on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications.
[0064] Since when the user uses the search engine, he will select web pages he needs from the search result index page by viewing information such as abstracts or names, etc., e.g., surfing web sites by clicking hyperlinks in the search result index page. By recording the association information of "search keyword- >click operation" of the user, when the user inputs a certain search keyword, in the direct search apparatus shown in Fig.3, the matching unit 301 can match the preference degree of the user for the search results corresponding to the search keyword. Among them, the preference degree of the user for the search results corresponding to the search keyword can be measured by the number of times viewing the search results, for example, the more views of a certain search result, the higher degree that the user prefers the search result; it can also be measured according to the view duration, whether copy and/or save operation(s) being performed, etc., for a certain search result page that is opened.
[0065] After the matching unit 301matches the preference degree of the users for the corresponding search results of the search keyword, the display unit 302 may only display the search results with high preference degrees on the search interface corresponding to the search classifications, and thus, the efficiency of the user searching the target content is extremely improved. The direct search apparatus provided by Fig.2 or Fig.3 can comprise an index re -presenting module 401, as the direct search apparatus provided by another example of the present disclosure shown in Fig.4-a or Fig.4-b. The index re -presenting module 401 is configured to, when the user executes the backward operation, display an index page of the search results. In other words, in the current example, when a certain search result is incorrect, the index re-presenting module 401 still can display the index page of the search results of the present real-time search, without affecting the user normally using the search engine. Specifically, the backward operation can be realized in various ways, for example, by clicking a backward button directly on a browser; or clicking a backward button on a floating window or on a direct search tool, etc. can realize the execution of the backward operation. Of course, it should be noted that the backward operation is not the traditional backward operation, because, in fact, the search result index page gotten from the backward operation has not been shown before.
