Search method and device

Abstract

A search method and device are provided, which relate to the field of communication technologies, and can realize data sharing search among multiple terminals in a multi-terminal interconnection scenario, thereby improving search efficiency. The method includes: a first terminal acquires a first keyword input by a user (401); the first terminal searches for a first search result associated with the first keyword in the first terminal according to the first keyword (402); the first terminal sends a first search instruction to a second terminal (the second terminal is one of the device groups towhich the first terminal belongs) (403), where the first search instruction carries the first keyword, thereby triggering the second terminal to search for a second search result associated with thefirst keyword (404) in the second terminal; and subsequently, the first terminal may obtain the second search result from the second terminal, and then output the first search result and the second search result to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a search method and device. Background technique [0002] With the widespread application of terminals such as smart phones, the amount of data stored in the terminal also increases accordingly. Therefore, the local search function set in the terminal has become one of the important functions commonly used by users. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, after entering the local search interface, the user can enter a keyword into the search box, and then the terminal compares the keyword with all file indexes stored locally, and then presents the search result matching the keyword to the user. Certainly, if the user is dissatisfied with the current search result, the terminal may be triggered to further search for the keyword in the Internet or an application store. [0004] However, the above-mentioned local search function can only display...

Problems solved by technology

[0004]However, the above local search function can only show the user the search results that match the keywords in the currently operated terminal

And when the user has multiple terminals, for example, the user may have multiple terminals such as a mobile phone, a wearable device, and a tablet computer at the same time. At this time, if the user enables the local search function on the mobile phone to search for a song, when there is no When storing this song or information about this song, the mobile phone cannot provide corresponding search results for the user

However, this song or related information of this song may have been stored in the user's tablet computer, but the user has no way of knowing it, which reduces the search efficiency of the local search function
