a display configured to display a search window for inputting a keyword; and a controller to determine an internal situation corresponding to an internal application on the mobile terminal or an external situation corresponding to an external environment of the mobile terminal, search for the input keyword, determine an output priority for displaying results of the search for the input keyword based on the determined internal situation or external situation of the mobile terminal, and display the results of the search according to the determined output priority. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A terminal, comprising: a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a display configured to display a search window for inputting a keyword; and a controller to: determine an internal situation corresponding to an internal application on the mobile terminal or an external situation corresponding to an external environment of the mobile terminal, search for the input keyword, determine an output priority for displaying results of the search for the input keyword based on the determined internal situation or external situation of the mobile terminal, and display the results of the search according to the determined output priority. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to search at least one of the Internet and a memory of the mobile terminal for the input keyword. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to display category identifiers indicating a category of the search results. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The terminal of claim 3, wherein the category includes at least one of music, a web page, an address book, a schedule, a memo, a text message, a photo, a video, and an application. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller is further configured to execute an application corresponding to a selected category identifier. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the internal situation of the terminal includes at least one of information about whether an application is installed or executed, information about whether a content exists or is executed, information about whether a setting value exists or a range of the setting value, a battery situation, a content use frequency, and information about a use pattern per user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the external situation of the terminal includes at least one of location information, sound information, brightness information, terminal movement information, and terminal state information. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to determine the output priority of based on at least one of information about a main body, an activity, a proximity, a date, and a time obtainable through the terminal. ### Claim 9 A terminal, comprising: a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a display configured to display information; and a controller configured to: determine an internal situation corresponding to an internal application on the mobile terminal or an external situation corresponding to an external environment of the mobile terminal, extract a keyword from the displayed information, and display in a search window the extracted keyword along with a category icon corresponding to an executable application using the keyword based on the determined internal situation or the external situation of the mobile terminal. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, further comprising: an input button configured to be selected to perform the determining of the internal or external situation, extracting the keyword and displaying the extracted keyword in the search window. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein the internal application includes a communication application for communicating with the at least one other terminal, and wherein the controller is further configured to: extract voice or text input during the communication application, and perform the search using the extracted voice or text as the keyword. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to: execute the application identified by the category icon based on a selection of the category icon and using the keyword; and display details of the application corresponding to the keyword. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The terminal of claim 12, wherein the controller is further configured to add an additional category icon indicating an additional category corresponding to the results of the search based on a preset input. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein the application is a schedule application and the keyword includes time data, the application is a map application and the keyword includes location data, or the application is an Internet browser application and the keyword includes data searched on the Internet browser application. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The ten final of claim 9, wherein the keyword includes a combination of keywords included in the displayed information, and the controller displays a combination of category icons indicating a combination of categories corresponding to the results of the search. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein the keyword includes a combination of keywords included in the displayed information, and the controller displays tabs for each keyword among the combination of keywords so when a tab is selected, search results for a corresponding word are displayed. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein a category corresponding to the category icon includes at least one of a music, a web page, an address book, a schedule, a memo, a text message, a photo, a video, and an application. ### Claim 18 (depends on 9) The terminal of claim 9, wherein the recognized internal situation includes at least one of information about whether an application is installed or executed, information about whether a content exists or executed, information about whether a setting value exists or a range of the setting value, a battery situation, a content use frequency, and information about a user history pattern, and wherein the recognized external situation includes at least one of location information, sound information, brightness information, terminal movement information, and terminal state information to recognize the external situation of the terminal. ### Claim 19 A method of controlling a terminal, the method comprising: allowing, via a wireless communication unit, wireless communication with at least one other terminal; displaying, via a display, information; determining, via a controller, an internal situation corresponding to an internal application on the mobile terminal or an external situation corresponding to an external environment of the mobile terminal; extracting, via the controller, a keyword from the displayed information; and displaying, via the display, in a search window the extracted keyword along with a category icon corresponding to an executable application using the keyword based on the determined internal situation or the external situation of the mobile terminal. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, further comprising: selecting an input button to perform the determining of the internal or external situation; and extracting the keyword and displaying the extracted keyword in the search window.
