Method for searching website in portable terminal

A web site searching method of a portable terminal is provided to be capable of easily moving to a desired web site part when a user accesses a frequently connected web site or a structured web site, while the user can immediately move to a desired part of the web site from a bookmark, thereby improving the user's convenience. For a bookmark request, a requested bookmark function is confirmed(S301-S305). If the bookmark function is registered, it is confirmed whether a site map exists on a web site by connecting to the registered web site according to a site map sync request while the web site is registered(S307,S309). If the site map exists, link information of the site map is detected and received, and a menu tree is configured according to a structure of the link information, so that the configured menu tree is displayed(S311,S315).
