Abstract:
In particular embodiments, a method by a social-networking system comprises receiving, from a client device, a search query from a first user of an online social network, determining, by the social-networking system, one or more network resources that match the search query, accessing a data store of social-graph information to determine one or more second users of the online social network having an association with the first user that have interacted with any of the matching network resources within a particular period of time, ranking the network resources based on a degree of relevance associated with each of the network resources with respect to the search query, and sending, to the client device in response to the search query, one or more search results corresponding to one or more of the matching network resources.
