Abstract
A character string input in a URL input region of a browser is obtained. An HTTP request is sent, and a return code with respect thereto is confirmed. In the case where the return code is not a predetermined one, a search request is sent to a predetermined search engine. Registered search engines are extracted in the order from a high priority, and whether or not the search request has been sent to all the registered search engines is determined. Then, the search request is continued to be sent to the search engines in the order from a high priority until it is determined that the search request has been sent to all the search engines.
Claims6
An Internet search supporting apparatus, comprising:
- a URL input character string sending part for obtaining a character string input in a URL input region and sending an HTTP request in a browser using an Internet search;
- a first return code confirming part for confirming a return code with respect to the HTTP request;
- a search script generating part for automatically generating a search script corresponding to a search engine based on the obtained character string;
- and
- a search request sending part for generating a search request using the generated search script, and sending the search request to the search engine,
- wherein, only in a case where the return code with respect to the HTTP request is not a predetermined return code in the first return code confirming part, the search request is sent to the search engine in the search request sending part.
A method for supporting an Internet search, comprising:
- obtaining a character string input in a URL input region and sending an HTTP request in a browser using an Internet search;
- confirming a return code with respect to the HTTP request;
- automatically generating a search script corresponding to a search engine based on the obtained character string;
- and
- generating a search request using the generated search script, and sending the search request to the search engine,
- wherein, only in a case where the return code with respect to the HTTP request is not a predetermined return code, the search request is sent to the search engine.
A computer-executable recording medium storing a program for realizing an Internet search supporting method, the program comprising:
- obtaining a character string input in a URL input region and sending an HTTP request in a browser using an Internet search;
- confirming a return code with respect to the HITTP request;
- automatically generating a search script corresponding to a search engine based on the obtained character string;
- and
- generating a search request using the generated search script, and sending the search request to the search engine,
- wherein, only in a case where the return code with respect to the HTTP request is not a predetermined return code, the search request is sent to the search engine.
