    Abstract: The embodiments disclose a cell search control method, a cell search control apparatus, a mobile communication terminal, a computer program and a storage medium. A first communication subsystem losing coverage in an access network perform cell search using a list of neighboring cells provided by a second communication subsystem covered by other access network, rather than performs cell search in a full-band searching manner, so as to reduce the power consumption of the mobile communication terminal when it recovers service from the loss of coverage. When the list of cells remains unchanged and the first communication subsystem cannot successfully camp on a cell after a first number of attempts, a time interval (period) of cell search procedure performed by the first communication subsystem based on the list of cells will be increased, so as to avoid meaningless search under the circumstance of poor network quality, and to reduce the power consumption of the mobile communication terminal.
