Method and device for displaying search results

Abstract

A search result display method and a device. The method comprises: obtaining a keyword entered by a user, performing a traversal full-text search for the keyword, recording chapter titles in which the keyword appears, and generating a corresponding tree structure; and sequentially extracting, according each location of the keyword, all entry information containing the keyword from a document, and eliminating duplicate entry information therefrom; and inserting, according to location information of the entry information, the entry information into the tree structure, generating a structure list, and displaying the same for the user. The present method is employed to generate a structure list containing article structure information, such that users can perform wide-range screening on search results by means of the article structure information, thereby improving interaction efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of human-computer interaction, and in particular to a search result display method and device. Background technique [0002] Text search is a common operation in the daily document reading and editing process, which may involve various document types, such as articles, emails, codes, etc. In the process of text search, the user searches by providing keywords, and then the reader or document editing software will jump to the position in the document containing the keywords and highlight the keywords. If the modified keyword appears in multiple places in the document, the user can use the shortcut key to jump in an orderly manner between the positions where each keyword appears. In this way, the purpose of traversing the content of the article and finding the target content is achieved. [0003] In common document types, a single search often returns multiple search results. Obviously, it is very i...

Problems solved by technology

Although this method allows users to see a small amount of contextual information, and can filter out most irrelevant search results by browsing the list, this method still has the following shortcomings: 1) The overall structure of the article is not reflected in the search results, so users cannot browse through the article. Structural information realizes a large-scale screening of search results, and the result list must be browsed in order, and the number of interactions is large; 2) The interception of the content of each item in the search result list will also affect the efficiency of the method. Software such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat simply intercept fixed-length contexts; 3) Each item in the list only highlights one keyword position. Will appear repeatedly in consecutive entries to highlight different keyword positions, resulting in redundancy

However, for users who are relatively unfamiliar with the content of the article and the search task is relatively complex, the thumbnail method seems to have little effect or even no beneficial effect on search

[0009] To sum up, there is currently no effective solution to the problems of displaying search results in the form of highlights, result lists, titles or pages
