wherein the first screen and the second screen respectively comprise screens of web pages provided by the first server and the second server.

3. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the first device is configured to be a first storage device of the user terminal,

wherein the second device is configured to be a second storage device of the user terminal, and

wherein the first screen and the second screen respectively comprise screens of content pages provided by the first storage device and the second storage device.

4. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to emphatically display the information corresponding to the keyword searched for in the selected contents on the first screen.

5. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to determine at least one of a webpage, a document, a text, an image, and a moving image, as matched with the keyword within execution information of the selected contents.

6. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the contents comprise at least one of a web page, a document, an image, and a moving image.

7. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to determine at least one of a text corresponding to the keyword, an image shaped like the text, a text within at least one of an image and a moving image, and an image previously set, to correspond to the text.

8. The user terminal according to claim 5, wherein the controller is further configured to determine an emphasis effect applied to at least one of the text, the image and the moving image, matched up with the keyword, within at least one of the execution information of the web page, the document, the text, the image, and the moving image of the selected contents.

9. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controller emphatically displays the information corresponding to the keyword in an entirety of the display or a partial area of the display.

10. The user terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a User Interface (UI) generator configured to generate a menu button for selectively releasing or executing the information corresponding to the emphatically displayed information corresponding to the keyword,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the UI generator to generate the menu button for releasing or executing the information corresponding to the emphatically displayed information corresponding to the keyword.

11. The user terminal according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to execute at least one of a color change, underlining, highlighting, italic type, shape change, enlargement, and reduction to emphatically display the information corresponding to the keyword.

12. The user terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate with an external search server,

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the user input to an external search server so that related keywords corresponding to the keyword can be searched according to a search method, and to emphatically display information corresponding to at least one of the keyword and the related keywords if the related keywords are received from the external search server.

13. The user terminal according to claim 12, wherein the controller is further configured to execute a search method configuring a search classification about at least one of a matter of interest on a network, a trend, a tendency, a fashion, an issue, and interesting fields previously set up by the user, and

wherein the controller is further configured to execute a search for the related keyword according to at least one of a high frequency and a high priority with regard to at least one of a simultaneous search and a related search when the keyword is searched with respect to the configured search classification.

14. The user terminal according to claim 13, wherein the search method is at least one of a preset search method and a user selected search method.

15. A method of controlling a user terminal, the method comprising:

displaying a searchable content;

receiving a user input for searching contents of a first device;

displaying, on a first screen, a plurality of contents searched in the first device based on a keyword corresponding to the user input received on the first screen;

selecting a content from among the plurality of contents; and

emphatically displaying information corresponding to the keyword searched for in the selected content as information received from a second device different from the first device on a second screen.

16. The method according to claim 15, further comprising:

operating the first device as a first server; and

operating the second device as a second server,

wherein the first screen and the second screen respectively comprise screens of web pages provided by the first server and the second server.

17. The method according to claim 15, further comprising:

operating the first device as a first storage device of the user terminal; and

operating the second device as a second storage device of the user terminal,

wherein the first screen and the second screen respectively comprise screens of content pages provided by the first storage device and the second storage device.

18. The method according to claim 15, wherein the emphatically displaying of the information corresponding to the keyword on the second screen comprises emphatically displaying the information corresponding to the keyword searched for in the selected contents on the first screen.

19. The method according to claim 15, wherein the emphatically displaying of the information corresponding to the keyword on the second screen comprises determine at least one of a webpage, a document, a text, an image, and a moving image, as matched with the keyword within execution information of the selected contents, when the at least one content is displayed.
