SEARCHING USING SOCIAL FILTERS AS OPERATORS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for responding to a search query with search results where the search query includes a social source operation are presented. Upon receiving a search query directed to a query topic, and including a social source operation, the search engine identifies search results corresponding to the query topic, and further obtains social data necessary to satisfy the social source operation of the search query. The search results are modified in light of the social source operation according to the obtained social data. One or more search results pages are generated according to the modified search results and at least one of the search results pages is returned to the requesting computer user.
