A service searching system for searching a service in a distributed system comprises a wireless server device and a wireless terminal device. The wireless server device is connected to a network and implements a master search service. On the other hand, the wireless terminal device implements a slave search service, and is capable of communicating with the server by wireless and utilizing the master search service. Besides, the wireless terminal device comprises a storage means that caches service objects obtained through the master search service. In addition, in searching the slave search service for a service, the wireless terminal device begins by searching the service objects cached in the storage means. In the case where the service is not detected, the wireless terminal device searches the master search service. The service objects are cached by being related to priority data.

A “Community-Based Mobile Search Cache” provides various techniques for maximizing the number of query results served from a local “query cache”, thereby significantly limiting the need to connect to the Internet or cloud using 3G or other wireless links to service search queries. The query cache is constructed remotely and downloaded to mobile devices. Contents of the query cache are determined by mining popular queries from mobile search logs, either globally or based on queries of one or more groups or subgroups of users. In various embodiments, searching and browsing behaviors of individual users are evaluated to customize the query cache for particular users or user groups. The content of web pages related to popular queries may also be included in the query cache. This allows cached web pages to be displayed without first displaying cached search results when a corresponding search result has a sufficiently high click-through probability.

The reply is provided to the mobile device in response to the service search request.

The invention allows a user to enter a search criteria in a search form once and search multiple web services, search engines and web pages without the need for repeatedly re-creating the search criteria for each web service or search engine because of different and varying supported formats. Once the user has defined their search query, the search query is passed to a query manager in the browser application for formatting the search criteria into a generic query format. The generic query format provides a unified and generic interface to all other query mechanisms supported by different web services, search engines and web pages.

Search results and information found at an information source are transferred to a repository, such as an information depot, which is accessible by a number of means, including telephone and Internet. Data identifying a user are maintained at the repository. Information is received from the information source where it is associated with the identifying data.
