Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, services, platforms, and methods are discussed herein that provide user search services to a communication platform. An example user search service receives a query indicted by a user to find users of a communication platform associated with one or more search terms. The example user search service also presents to the user a search result view comprising resultant users on the communication platform, where the search result view includes one or more graphical annotations in association with ones of the resultant users that indicate a quantity of common users on the communication platform between the user and the ones of the resultant users.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, services, platforms, and methods are discussed herein that provide user search services to a communication platform. An example user search service receives a user query to find users of the communication platform associated with one or more search terms, performs a graph search process based at least on the one or more search terms to identify a first set of users related to the user through at least one common user, and performs an indexed search process to identify a second set of users associated with the one or more search terms. The user search service then presents to the user a result view comprising the first set of users prioritized over the second set of users.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for presenting supplemental search results having indications that identified documents have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are provided. A search query is received and it is determined that the user's social networking data is available. Documents that have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are searched to identify those that satisfy the input search query. The satisfying documents are assigned a relevance score to determine whether each satisfying document is relevant enough to be shown and to determine placement of the document on the SERP relative to standard search results. Upon rendering of the SERP, a supplemental search result identifying documents that were endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user is presented, as is an indication about which social network connection(s) of the user endorsed the document.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for presenting results of search queries with indications that at least a portion of such results has been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user, are provided. Upon receipt of a search query, Web search results satisfying the query are determined. Satisfying search results that have been endorsed by the requesting user and/or one or more social network connections of the requesting user are identified. Upon presentation of the search results on the SERF, those results that were identified as having been endorsed by the requesting user and/or one or more social network connections of the requesting user are annotated as such. In this way, the requesting user may be able to more readily identify personally relevant results as the annotated results have been indicated to be preferences of the user and/or his or her social network connections.
