Techniques for improving search relevance using past searchers' reputation are described. According to various embodiments, a specification of a search query term corresponding to a skill is received from a searcher, in connection with a search for members of an online social networking service having the skill. Thereafter, a list of search results is generated and displayed based on the search query term, each of the search results corresponding to a member of the online social networking service. A subsequent interaction between the searcher and a specific member corresponding to one of the search results is detected. A skill reputation score associated with the searcher and the skill is then accessed. Thereafter, a search relevance score associated with the specific member and the skill is modified based on the skill reputation score associated with the searcher and the skill. |
