setting the play icon at a location that corresponds to the graphic and text information in the pull-down list, if the user has the right to watch the video.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein after searching a video associated with the target words, the method comprises:

determining whether the video associated with the target words in a same list comprises a plurality of episodes;

setting icons of the different episodes in the list corresponding to the video if the video associated with the target words in a same list comprises the plurality of episodes; and

displaying the icons of the episodes in order.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein before displaying the icons of the episodes in order, the method comprises:

determining whether all the episodes of the video have been updated;

arranging the episodes of the video in a reverse order according to the latest update video, if all the episodes of the video have been updated; and

arranging the episodes of the video sequentially in the order in which the episodes are played if not all the episodes of the video have been updated.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory communicably connected with the at least one processor for storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to;

obtain a search content inputted into a search box by a user in real time;

determine target words according to the search content being inputted;

search videos associated with the target words to generate graphic and text information of the videos;

display the graphic and text information in the form of a pull-down list;

receive an operation of choosing among the graphic and text information in the pull-down list by the user; and

obtain the corresponding video to play according to the chosen graphic and text information.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

detect an adding or deleting operation on the inputted search content performed by the user in the search box in real time;

obtain a new search content if the adding or deleting operation have been performed on the search content;

re-determine a new target word according to the new search content;

search a video associated with the new target word to create graphic and text information of the video, and update the pull-down list.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein displaying the graphic and text information in the form of a pull-down list comprises:
