An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the display to display a first window of a first application, the first window displaying one or more textual messages exchanged between the electronic apparatus and an external electronic apparatus,
- analyze the one or more textual messages to extract a keyword for a search query from the one or more textual messages,
- visually differentiate the keyword from other words in the one or more textual messages on the first window,
- in response to receiving a selection of the keyword from a user, display a user interface of the search query together with the first window, the user interface of the search query comprising a candidate list that provides selectable candidate search queries that are associated with the selected keyword,
- in response to receiving a selection of a candidate search query from the user among the candidate search queries in the candidate list, transmit a search request based on the selected candidate search query to a search server, and
- control the display to display a second window of a second application together with the first window of the first application, the second window displaying a search result, responsive to the search request based on the selected candidate search query, received from the search server,
- wherein the search result comprises a user interface of a search engine to which the selected candidate search query is inputted, and
