A client obtains geographical position information of a user of the client after detecting that the user of the client transmits a searching command, and transmits a searching request to a server, wherein the searching request at least includes the obtained geographical position information of the user and a user identifier of the user. The server receives the searching request, determines whether there is a piece of searching request information satisfying a requirement in various pieces of searching request information previously stored, and returns information related with a user corresponding to the piece of the searching request information satisfying the requirement to the client if there is the piece of the searching request information satisfying the requirement. Thus, validity of a searching result can be improved.
