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.
