Abstract

A method and apparatus for displaying search results, and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: sending a search request in response to a search triggering instruction; obtaining a multi-entity aggregation result corresponding to the search request; and displaying the multi-entity aggregation result. A multi-entity aggregation result corresponding to the search request can be obtained. The multi-entity aggregation result comprises entity information of multiple target entities. The entity information of the multiple target entities is obtained on the basis of associated media content corresponding to the search request. Accordingly, the user terminal can intuitively display to a user the entity information of the multiple target entities that match the search request, and the user can conveniently view the entity information of the target entity in which the user is interested, thereby reducing time costs incurred in performing searching by the user, and improving search efficiency.
