In the embodiment of the present invention, word segmentation is performed at the granularity of mixed words. For example, the search term is "Jay Chou movie review", and after word segmentation according to the granularity of mixed words, it is "Jay Chou, movie, movie review", and the search word is "Jay Chou movie review". "Movie Critic", after cutting words according to the granularity of mixed words, it will be "Zhou Jie, Movie, Movie Critic", and the location information cut out when cutting words can also be saved.

Step S102, the search engine receives input information input by the user.

In step S103, the search engine queries the search word matching library with the input information as a prefix.

Step S104, the search engine judges whether the granularity of the input information matches the mixed word.

Step S105, if they match, the search engine adds the search words corresponding to the matched mixed word granularity to the first search prompt result.

For example, if a user enters "Zhou Jie", the search engine will use "Zhou Jie" as a prefix to query and search in the search term matching database based on the information entered by the user, and then obtain multiple corresponding search terms, and then judge the input information and the granularity of the mixed word Whether it matches, for example, "Jie Zhou" matches the mixed word granularity of the search terms "Jie Zhou TV", "Jie Zhou's personal information", and "Jie Zhou Weibo", and these search terms are added to the first search prompt result.

Step S106, the search engine inserts the first search prompt result in the search prompt column before the second search prompt result obtained by the search engine according to the input information and popularity information corresponding to the input information.

Wherein, the second search prompt result may be a search word obtained according to input information in the prior art. For example, the search words obtained according to "Jie Chou" are "Jay Chou", "Jay Chou concert", "Jay Chou movie", etc. as the second search prompt result.
