[0018] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be more thoroughly and completely understood. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0019] It should be noted that the headings provided in any section / subsection herein are not limitations. Various embodiments are described throughout this document and any type of embodiment can be included under any section / subsection. Moreover, embodiments described in any section / subsection can be combined with any other embodiment described in the same section / subsection and / or a different section / subsection in any manner.

[0020] In the description of embodiments of the disclosure, the term "includes" and its derivatives, such as "including," should be understood in an open-ended way, i.e., "including but not limited to." The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment." The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments." Other explicit and implicit definitions can also be included below. The terms "first," "second," and the like can refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions can also be included below.

[0021] Data of users, acquisition and / or use of data, etc. can be involved in embodiments of the disclosure. These aspects all comply with corresponding laws and regulations and relevant provisions. In embodiments of the disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are performed on the premise that the user is aware of and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing embodiments of the disclosure, the type of data or information that can be involved, the use range, the use scenario, etc. should be informed to the user and the authorization of the user should be obtained through appropriate means according to relevant laws and regulations. The specific informing and / or authorization manner can vary according to actual situations and application scenarios, and the scope of the disclosure is not limited in this aspect.

[0022] In the specification and embodiments, if personal information processing is involved, it will be processed on the premise of legality (for example, obtaining the consent of the subject of personal information, or being necessary for the performance of a contract, etc.), and only within the prescribed or agreed range. Users refuse to process personal information other than the necessary information required for basic functions, which will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0023] As mentioned above, with the development of the Internet, more and more users search and view content in application platforms. However, on the one hand, traditional application platforms mainly use text search methods, and in some cases, the search ability of the text search method is limited compared to image search, and the search results are not accurate enough. On the other hand, in the existing application platforms that provide image search methods, the text search method and the image search method are independent of each other, and there is a lack of necessary connection between the two, resulting in low search efficiency and poor user experience.

[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for content search. According to the scheme, a first search result page for a text search request can be presented; in response to the text search request satisfying a preset condition, an image search entry is presented in the first search result page; in response to a selection of the image search entry, an image search component is presented; and based on an image search request acquired via the image search component, a second search result page for the image search request is presented.

[0025] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide an image search entry in a search result page corresponding to a text search request based on the text search request. The image search entry can guide a user to input an image and acquire a search result associated with the image search request. Therefore, the present disclosure can provide an image search mode for a user in a conventional text search mode, so that the text search mode and the image search mode are associated with each other, thereby improving search efficiency. And improve user experience, meet the user's search needs.

[0026] Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
