A method is designed for searching contents information presented by a
plurality of information sites over a network based on a query sent from
a client terminal to a searching server through the network. The method
is carried out by the computer-implemented steps of registering
information sites which present contents information involving various
items and actions related to each other, initiating the client terminal
to transmit a query to the searching server through the network, the
query containing an item keyword indicating an item as a target of
searching and an action keyword indicating an action to be made on the
item, operating the searching server according to the query to search for
one or more of the registered information sites having contents
information matching the query, and to send back directory information
indicative of locations of the searched information sites to the client
terminal, and operating the client terminal according to the directory
information for accessing the searched information sites, thereby
enabling a user to make the action on the item.
