Abstract

An information search method includes: receiving a client query keyword; acquiring, in a regular index database, a first search result associated with the query keyword; and querying, according to the query keyword, video and product summary information in a video product index database to acquire a second search result associated with the query keyword. The second search result has an address of a video clip associated with the query keyword, and the video product index database has the address of the video clip. The video summary information corresponds to the video clip, and the product summary information corresponds to a product demonstrated in the video clip. The first and second search results are pushed to the client. Improved user search efficiency, enriched search result of a querying, and shortened gap between the search result and the user'"'"'s actual query demands are expected.

Claims

1. An information search method, comprising:

receiving a query keyword from a client;

acquiring, in a regular index database, a first search result associated with the query keyword;

querying, according to the query keyword, video summary information and product summary information in a video product index database to acquire a second search result associated with the query keyword, wherein the second search result comprises an address of a video clip comprising a product and associated with the query keyword, and the video product index database comprises the address of the video clip, the video summary information corresponding to the video clip, and the product summary information corresponding to a product demonstrated in content of the video clip; and

pushing the first search result and the second search result to the client;

wherein the video summary information comprises a video type tag; and

the pushing the first search results and the second search result to the client further comprises;

classifying the second search result according to the video type tag; and

pushing a classification result to the client.

2. The information search method of claim 1, wherein the video summary information comprises a video name corresponding to the video clip, and the product summary information comprises a product name corresponding to the product demonstrated in the content of the video clip.

3. The information search method of claim 2, wherein the second search result further comprises video abstract information, product abstract information, or a combination thereof corresponding to the video clip, the video abstract information is a subset of the video summary information, and the product abstract information is a subset of the product summary information.

4. The information search method of claim 3, wherein the video summary information further comprises a thumbnail corresponding to the video clip.

5. The information search method of claim 3, wherein the product summary information further comprises a product introduction and an entry address of a product details page corresponding to the product name.

6. The information search method of claim 3, wherein the product summary information further comprises a product type tag;

and the step of pushing the first search result and the second search result to the client further comprises;

classifying the second search result according to the product type tag; and

pushing a classification result to the client.

7. An information search device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing computer-readable instructions;

wherein, when the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is configured to;

receive a query keyword from a client;

acquire, in a regular index database, a first search result associated with the query keyword;

query, according to the query keyword, video summary information and product summary information in a video product index database to acquire a second search result associated with the query keyword, wherein the second search result comprises an address of a video clip comprising a product and associated with the query keyword, and the video product index database comprises the address of the video clip, the video summary information corresponding to the video clip, and the product summary information corresponding to a product demonstrated in content of the video clip; and

push the first search result and the second search result to the client;

wherein the video summary information comprises a video type tag; and

the processor is further configured to;

classify the second search result according to the video type tag; and

push a classification result to the client.

8. The information search device of claim 7, wherein the video summary information comprises a video name corresponding to the video clip, and the product summary information comprises a product name corresponding to the product demonstrated in the content of the video clip.

9. The information search device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to acquire video abstract information, product abstract information, or a combination thereof corresponding to the video clip, wherein the video abstract information is a subset of the video summary information, and the product abstract information is a subset of the product summary information.

10. The information search device of claim 9, wherein the video summary information further comprises a thumbnail corresponding to the video clip.

11. The information search device of claim 9, wherein the product summary information further comprises a product introduction and an entry address of a product details page corresponding to the product name.

12. The information search device of claim 9, wherein the product summary information further comprises a product type tag;

and the processor is further configured to;

classify the second search result according to the product type tag; and

push a classification result to the client.

13. One or more non-transitory storage media comprising a computer-executable instruction, the computer-executable instruction being configured to be used for executing an information search method comprising the following steps:

receiving a query keyword from a client;

acquiring, in a regular index database, a first search result associated with the query keyword;

querying, according to the query keyword, video summary information and product summary information in a video product index database to acquire a second search result associated with the query keyword, wherein the second search result comprises an address of a video clip comprising a product and associated with the query keyword, and the video product index database comprises the address of the video clip, the video summary information corresponding to the video clip, and the product summary information corresponding to a product demonstrated in content of the video clip; and

pushing the first search result and the second search result to the client;

wherein the video summary information comprises a video type tag; and

the pushing the first search result and the second search result to the client further comprises;

classifying the second search result according to the video type tag; and

pushing a classification result to the client.
