<p>System and methods for performing social searches using a social graph including nodes associated with voting values associated with items of interest. At least one rating (such as importance rating, compatibility rating, proximity rating, and/or social rank value) is obtained for each node. A web search obtains search results. A sort value (for sorting the search results) is determined for each search result in which an item is identified. The sort value may be determined for a search result by (a) identifying nodes associated with a voting value that is associated with an item identified in the search result, (b) determining a node value for each node identified based on the rating obtained for the node and the voting value associated with both the node and the item(s) identified in the search result, and (c) determining the sort value based on the node values of the nodes identified.</p> |
