if related information being not queried in the server database, server starting server searching device to perform search on basis of the internet and wireless network, and returning retrieval result to client module according to information returning method; and

when obtaining related returning result, client module displaying it to users, so that users can perform subsequent operation.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein processing procedures after mobile terminal switches to intelligent net surfing service mode include the following operations:

users inputting information, and clicking service starting key;

client module first judging whether input information of users is legal link address or not, if yes, client module starting browser and opening corresponding website;

if input information of users being not legal link address, client module retrieving client database, and if related website result being retrieved, returning the website result;

if related website result being not retrieved in client database, client module uploading information to server, on basis of the uploaded information server querying server database, and if related website result being retrieved in the server database, server returning the website result to client module;

if no related website result being retrieved in the server database, server starting searching device, searching with the input content of users as keyword, and returning the searched website result to client module;

if the searching apparatus also searching no related result, server sending prompting message, reminding users to input information again; and

client module displaying returned website result, for users'"'"' confirmation to open related website.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein processing procedures after mobile terminal switches to intelligent searching service mode include the following operations:

users inputting information, and clicking service starting key;

client module retrieving the client database according to input information of users, if related result being retrieved, returning the retrieval result;

if related result being not retrieved in the client database, the client module starting browser, opening searching website to search;

the searching website searching according to input information of users, and returning relate searched result to client module; and

client module displaying the searched result.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein processing procedures after mobile terminal switches to vague phone yellow pages mode include the following operations:

users inputting information, and clicking service starting key;

client module first judging whether input information of users is legal phone number, if yes, the client module directly dialing the number;

if the input information of users is not legal phone number, client module retrieving local database, if related result being retrieved in the client database, returning the result;

if related result being not retrieved in client database, the client module uploading information to server, on basis of the uploaded information server querying server database, and if related result being retrieving in the server database, server returning the result to client module;

if related result being not retrieved in the server database, server starting searching device, searching the internet with the input content of users as keyword, and returning the searched website result to client module;

client module judging whether the returned result includes valid phone number, if valid phone number included, client module displaying retrieved phone number, users perform subsequent operation on the displayed phone number; and

if no valid phone number included, client module displaying prompting message to users, users restart operations of vague phone yellow page mode.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein client module displays retrieved phone number according to users'"'"' setting, for users to confirm whether to dial the phone number or not;

and the client module judges whether to automatically start IP dialing or not in current settings.

10. The method of claim 7, if default of the searching website is SMS searching platform, the input information of users would be sent to SMS special service number which is corresponding to SMS searching platform, and the SMS searching platform searches according to the input information of users, with the searched result returned to client according to information returning method.

11. The method of claim 6, when client module connects to server to wait for returned result from server, or when client module starts local browser to search and waits for returned result, the client module displays network waiting information.

12. The method of claim 6, wherein optimizing retrieved result or searched result according to data matching mode, and the data matching mode includes accurate matching and vague matching:
