<p>The present invention relates to a search method by using a specific string in a messenger service and a system and an apparatus for performing the same, wherein a specific string such as a specific word, a specific number and a serial number designated by a user or set by a system is stored in at least one among a terminal or a service apparatus; whether the specific string is included in the message transmitted received by the terminal is determined; the message including the specific string is stored when the specific string is included in the message, thereby allowing a user to easily search for a message including a specific string. The terminal comprises: a communications unit transmitting/ receiving a message through communications with a service apparatus based on a messenger program; a control unit including a specific string comparison module which compares the content of a message with a previously stored specific string when a user inputs the message or the message is received from another terminal and a search module which stores the message including a specific string in a storage unit when the specific string is included in the message and which searches for a specific string from the stored message when a user selects or inputs the specific string in order to search for a message; and a display unit displaying the message including the specific string searched for by the control unit on a screen.</p> |
