Abstract:
A business networking system receives a user a first search query that includes search criteria. The system executes the first search query to retrieve information relating to members of the business networking system based on the search criteria and to retrieve additional information relating to one or more facet values of the business networking system based on the search criteria and a scoring of a relevance of the facet values to the user. The system then executes a second search query using the one or more retrieved facet values to determine a count of documents that satisfy the search criteria and that include the one or more facet values. The system selects a portion of the facet values for transmission to the user, and displays on a user device the information relating to the members, the one or more facet values, and the counts for the one or more facet values.
