As shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a server, and includes:

step 101, receiving a search request of a client, and sending the search request to a search engine and a prediction result server.

The search request refers to a request sent by the client based on the operation of the user for searching or detecting, the search request includes search information, and the search information refers to a search text input by the user in the client, and may specifically be a search word or word. A search engine, also called a search engine, refers to a system that collects information from the internet by using a specific computer program according to a certain policy, organizes and processes the information, provides a search service for a user, and displays the searched related information to the user. The predicted result server is a server for storing predicted search result data, the predicted search result data may be determined according to data such as historical search result data of the user and feature data of the user, and the specific determination manner and number are not limited.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server side can obtain the search request sent by the client side, and send the search request to the search engine and the prediction result server, so that the search engine can search in real time based on the search information, and the prediction result server can perform subsequent processing based on the search information.

And 102, obtaining predicted search result data determined by the predicted result server based on the search request, and sending the predicted search result data to the client for prerendering to obtain prerendered data.

The predicted search result data refers to a predicted result determined by the predicted result server based on the search information, and the predicted search result data may include a plurality of predicted search results. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the predicted search result data is historical search result data within a preset time period determined by the predicted result server according to the search information in the search request, wherein the preset time period is determined according to the type of the search information. The type of the search information may include various types, for example, the type of the search information may include a game type, a learning type, a movie type, and the like, and is not limited in particular. Different preset time periods may be set for different types of search information. The predicted result server may determine historical search result data for the search information within a preset time period before the current time as the predicted search result data.

Prerendering refers to rendering operations performed in advance by the client, but not exposed. The prerender data refers to data which can be displayed after the client performs rendering operation on the prediction result data.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the server sends the search request to the predicted result server, the predicted result server may determine predicted search result data based on the search information, and then the predicted result server may return the predicted search result data to the server. After the server side obtains the predicted search result data, the server side can return the predicted search result data to the client side, so that the client side can obtain pre-rendering data after pre-rendering the predicted search result data.

The data fingerprint can be understood as a data key obtained by adopting a hash algorithm for the search result, and is used for ensuring the integrity and the correctness of data, and the data fingerprints of different search results are different. For example, assuming that the search result is a web page, a hash algorithm may be used to obtain a corresponding data fingerprint based on the body of the web page.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the server acquires the predicted search result data sent by the predicted result server and the real-time search result data sent by the search engine, the server may first determine a data fingerprint corresponding to each predicted search result in the predicted search result data and a data fingerprint corresponding to each real-time search result in the real-time search result data, determine the predicted search result and the real-time search result with the same data fingerprint as a group of data that is successfully matched, and determine the predicted search result and the real-time search result with different data fingerprints as a group of data that is failed to be matched. If the matching is successful, the predicted search result is accurate, otherwise, the predicted result is inaccurate.

And 105, indicating the client to display the prerendering data corresponding to the successfully matched predicted search result data according to the matching result.

After the server determines the matching result of the real-time search result data and the predicted search result data, matching success information can be sent to the client, so that the client can directly display the pre-rendering data corresponding to the successfully matched predicted search result. The matching success information may be information that characterizes that the matching result is a matching success. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the matching success information may be represented by an Acknowledgement Character (ACK) and is used to represent that the received data has no error, that is, the matching result is a matching success. The embodiment of the disclosure can design the confirmation character as an integer, maximally reduce the time consumption of the confirmation character transmission, and improve the transmission efficiency. In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the pre-rendering data is rendered in advance, the client can directly display the pre-rendering data, so that the time for rendering the data is saved, and the display efficiency of the search result is improved.

In some embodiments, the search method may further include: and sending the target search result data with the matching result of failed matching in the real-time search result data to the client so that the client renders and displays the target search result data after deleting the data corresponding to the target search result data in the pre-rendered data.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the server determines the matching result, the target search result data which is failed to match in the real-time search result data may be returned to the client, and after the client receives the target search result data, the client may delete or discard the corresponding erroneous pre-rendering data, and render and display the target search result data in real time. In the scheme, the search results which are failed to predict can be rendered and displayed in real time, and the display of the complete search results is realized on the basis of improving the search performance.

In some embodiments, the search method may further include: and sending the real-time search result data to a prediction result server so that the prediction result server updates the prediction search result data according to the real-time search result data. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server may send the real-time search result data to the predicted result server, and the predicted result server may store the real-time search result data in association with the search information to update the stored data, and when the search request is received again, a new predicted search result is returned based on the updated data. The accuracy of subsequent search prediction is improved by updating the prediction data stored in the prediction result server.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another searching method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be executed by a searching apparatus, wherein the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in an electronic device. As shown in fig. 2, the method is applied to a client, and includes:

step 201, responding to a search request of a user, and sending the search request to a server.

The search request includes search information, where the search information refers to a search text input by a user in the client, and may specifically be a search word or word.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the client may detect the operation of the user, and if the trigger operation on the setting key is detected, the search information input by the user may be added to the search request and the search request may be sent to the server. The setting key is a key for representing searching or retrieving, and may be set by hardware or software, and is not limited specifically.

Step 202, receiving the predicted search result data determined based on the search request, and performing pre-rendering on the predicted search result data to obtain pre-rendering data.

The predicted search result data refers to a predicted result determined by the predicted result server based on the search information, and the predicted search result data may include a plurality of predicted search results. Prerendering refers to rendering operations performed in advance by the client, but not exposed. The prerender data refers to data which can be displayed after the client performs rendering operation on the prediction result data.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the client may receive the predicted search result data returned by the server, and pre-render the predicted search result data by using a preset rendering algorithm to obtain pre-render data, and at this time, the pre-render data is not displayed.

And 203, receiving a matching result returned by the server, wherein the matching result is obtained by matching the predicted search result data with real-time search result data obtained by the search engine based on the search information.

The real-time search result data refers to result data obtained by a search engine conducting a search in real time based on search information, and the real-time search result data may include a plurality of real-time search results. The matching success information may be information that characterizes the matching result as a matching success.

The server side matches the real-time search result data with the predicted search result data, and after the matching result is determined, the matching result can be returned to the client side. The client can receive the matching result sent by the server.

And 204, displaying the prerendering data corresponding to the successfully matched predicted search result data in the predicted search result data based on the matching result.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after receiving the matching result, the client may determine, in the prediction result data, a target prediction search result corresponding to the matching success information for the matching success information in the matching result data, where the target prediction search result is a search result that is predicted successfully, and may directly display prerendering data corresponding to the target prediction search result. The matching success information may be information that characterizes that the matching result is a matching success. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the matching success information may be represented by a confirmation character. In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the pre-rendering data is rendered in advance, the client can directly display the pre-rendering data, so that the time for rendering the data is saved, and the display efficiency of the search result is improved.

In some embodiments, the search method may further include: receiving target search result data with matching results of failed matching in the real-time search result data; and rendering and displaying the target search result data after deleting the data corresponding to the target search result data in the pre-rendering data.

After the server determines the matching result, the server may return the target search result data that fails to be matched in the real-time search result data to the client, and after receiving the target search result data, the client may delete or discard the corresponding erroneous pre-rendering data, and render and display the target search result data in real time. In the scheme, the search results which are failed to predict can be rendered and displayed in real time, and the display of the complete search results is realized on the basis of improving the search performance.

The search method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is further explained by a specific example. Exemplarily, fig. 3 is a timing diagram of a search provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another search method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, the step of searching may include: 1. and the server receives the request of the client and requests the prediction result server to generate prediction data. 2. The server side requests the downstream search engines in parallel. 3. And the server side returns the prediction data to the front-end rendering. 4. And the server judges whether the predicted data is accurate or not according to the data returned by the downstream search engine, specifically, the real data and the predicted data can be compared, if the fingerprints are the same, the predicted data is determined to be accurate, and if not, the predicted data is determined to be inaccurate. 5. If the server determines that part of the predicted data is accurate and part of the predicted data is inaccurate, the server sends ACK to the front end for the accurate predicted data to confirm hit; the front end finishes displaying the pre-rendering data; and for inaccurate predicted data, the server returns real data to the front end. 6. If the server side predicts all the inaccurate data, the server side returns ACK miss to the front end; the front end discards the pre-rendering data; the server returns all real data to the front end; and the front end completes rendering. 7. And asynchronously writing the search result data into a prediction result server. In which, the response of ACK needs to be very fast, and the embodiment of the present disclosure may design the ACK field as an integer, thereby maximally reducing the time consumption for ACK transmission.

According to the searching method, when a search engine is requested, the returned content of the request is predicted by utilizing a result data caching technology, and the content is returned to the terminal in advance for rendering; after the search engine returns, the server side sends an ack signal to the server side to directly display if the prediction is successful, and real data is directly returned if the prediction is not successful. The method and the device can utilize the search engine to consume time, transmit and render the search result in advance, and can improve the search performance optimization by hundreds of milliseconds.
