A device, system and method to enable communications over a network wherein a user may conduct a search directed to target contacts within a social network. A knowledge base of prior social search responses may be searched for responses from the target contacts with the results being presented to the user. The results of the search can be sorted along with responses received from the target contacts. The selection of target contacts and presentation of results can be based on various attributes of target contacts or ranking of the prior search responses. The search responses received by the user along with attributes and rankings may be stored in the knowledge base for future use. The target contacts and search may be taken from contacts or the knowledge base of the contacts with greater than one degree of separation from the user. |
