Search device and information providing system
First Claim
1. A search device providing search results to a requesting terminal unit, the search results including at least one address corresponding to content provided by a content providing server capable of providing content, the content provided by the content providing server corresponding to information showing a capacity of the requesting terminal unit included in an information request command along with a key word from the requesting terminal unit, the search device comprising:
- a search server that provides;
a crawling device for searching predetermined addresses corresponding to said content by using the information showing the capacity of the requesting terminal unit according to a typical model of the requesting terminal unit in a model group, the model group being set according to the capacity;
a search index holding the predetermined-addresses corresponding to the content obtained by said crawling device in correspondence to an identifier that identifies the requesting terminal unit in the model group at a time of crawling;
a searching device for searching the predetermined addresses in said search index according to search criteria, the search criteria including the key word and the identifier included in the information request command from the requesting terminal unit, the key word being different from the identifier and the searching of the predetermined addresses in the search index being based on the search criteria and according to the capacity information of the requesting terminal unit identified by the identifier; and
a search result generating device for generating a search result including said predetermined addresses searched by the searching device.

Abstract
A search device and an information providing system are structured, to lessen a user'"'"'s operation load, such that a crawling portion executes a crawling while sequentially changing an expansion header indicating a voice display capacity in an HTTP request into a voice display capacity of a typical model within each of model groups, and registers the obtained result in a search index in correspondence to the model name within the model group, a search service providing portion executes a search from the search index in correspondence to a search condition like a key word from a cellular phone terminal unit and the model name in the HTTP request, and a response portion generates a search result in correspondence to a template, and sends to a Web browser of the cellular phone terminal unit via an HTTP server.
