Abstract: In a URL error-correcting method, after a URL is received from a terminal, a server determines whether a web page corresponding to the URL exists. When there is no web page corresponding to the URL, the server determines that the URL is an incorrect URL.

The error-corrected URLs are sent to the terminal. The correctness of a URL is determined by means of determining whether a web page corresponding to the URL exists. When the URL is incorrect, similarity matching is performed with a URL in a URL database to obtain URLs possibly needed by a user, so as to achieve error correction of a URL.
