  • Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating net-searching operations performed by way of a mobile station

    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for a mobile station operable in a radio communication system. Improved convenience of use of the mobile station in the performance of net-searching operations is provided. A search query entered at the mobile station is selectably stored at a memory located at the mobile station.
