1. A search system configured on one or more computers, comprising:
- a searcher included in the one or more computers configured to receive a nearby point of interest (POI) search request including a first portion associated with a reference location and a second portion associated with a POI, to search for at least two reference locations including a first reference location and a second reference location in response to the first portion, and to search for POIs located around the first reference location and the second reference location in response to the second portion; and
a display included in the one or more computers configured to group search results into POIs located around the first reference location and POIs located around the second reference location, to separately display the POIs located around the first reference location and POIs located around the second reference location on a single search result screen,wherein the first reference location and second reference location represent different locations,wherein the display is configured to apply, to each group, a display ranking determined based on each of the at least two reference locations and display the search result, andwherein the display ranking of the reference location is determined based on a distance between the each of the at least two reference locations and a current location of a user terminal having requested the nearby POI search request.
