Abstract

The system for search of the present invention includes a search engine, a web site server, and a terminal. The control unit of the terminal performs the input receiving module to receive the predetermined keyword and argument input from the user. The control unit of the search engine performs the web site specifying module to specify the web site relating to the keyword and the argument that the terminal has received as the web site server. The control unit of the terminal performs the argument-related page display module and displays the page relating to the argument of the web site on the image display unit.

Claims

1. A system for searching the Internet, comprising:

a first processor that;

receives input of a character string from a user;

separates a keyword and an argument from the character string based on a search frequency;

specifies a web site based on the keyword; and

displays a page relating to the argument in the web site,.

wherein the first processor separates the keyword and the argument from the character string based on the search frequency after the input of the character string has been received, and

wherein the keyword indicates a term or phrase used to search for a web site which the user intends to acquire from web sites in world, and the arguments indicate a term or phrase used to build a page that corresponds to information that the user intends to acquire from data provided by the web site which the user intends to acquire.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a communication device that transmits the argument to a computer that provides the web site; and

a second processor that searches the page relating to the argument in the web site,

wherein the first processor displays the page searched by the second processor.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein, if there are a plurality of arguments, the second processor divides the plurality of arguments and searches the page relating to the arguments.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein when the character string includes a plurality of terms or phrases for a reservation, the keyword includes a term or phrase indicating a web site provided by a company for the reservation, and the argument includes a term or phrase indicating a condition for the reservation.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein when the search frequency of a first term or phrase included in the character string exceeds a predetermined times of the search frequency of a second term or phrase included in the character string, the first processor selects the first term or phrase as the keyword and the second term or phrase as the argument.

6. A method for searching the Internet, comprising:

receiving an input of a character string from a user;

separating a keyword and an argument from the character string based on a search frequency;

specifying a web site based on the keyword; and

displaying a page relating to the argument in the web site,

wherein the keyword and the argument are separated from the character string after the input of the character string has been received, and

wherein the keyword indicates a term or phrase used to search for a web site which the user intends to acquire from web sites in world, and the arguments indicate a term or phrase used to build a page that corresponds to information that the user intends to acquire from data provided by the web site which the user intends to acquire.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein when the character string includes a plurality of terms or phrases for a reservation, the keyword includes a term or phrase indicating a web site provided by a company for the reservation, and the argument includes a term or phrase indicating a condition for the reservation.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein when the search frequency of a first term or phrase included in the character string exceeds a predetermined times of the search frequency of a second term or phrase included in the character string, the first processor selects the first term or phrase as the keyword and the second term or phrase as the argument.

9. A computer program product for use in a system for searching the Internet, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a set of instructions physically embodied therein, the set of instructions including computer readable program code, which when executed by the system causes a processor to execute:

receiving an input of a character string from a user;

separating a keyword and an argument from the character string based on a search frequency;

specifying a web site based on the keyword; and

displaying a page relating to the argument in the web site,

wherein the keyword and the argument are separated from the character string after the input of the character string has been received, and

wherein the keyword indicates a term or phrase used to search for a web site which the user intends to acquire from web sites in world, and the arguments indicate a term or phrase used to build a page that corresponds to information that the user intends to acquire from data provided by the web site which the user intends to acquire.

10. The computer program product according to claim 9, wherein when the character string includes a plurality of terms or phrases for a reservation, the keyword includes a term or phrase indicating a web site provided by a company for the reservation, and the argument includes a term or phrase indicating a condition for the reservation.

11. The computer program product according to claim 9, wherein when the search frequency of a first term or phrase included in the character string exceeds a predetermined times of the search frequency of a second term or phrase included in the character string, the first processor selects the first term or phrase as the keyword and the second term or phrase as the argument.
