Abstract
In one embodiment, a social-networking system may compile a set of search results based on information known about a user stored by the social-networking system, the search results being compiled before the user inputs any search query or portion thereof, each search result being associated with one or more call-to-action elements applicable to the search result, each call-to-action element prompting an action from the user related to the search result via the social-networking system, and send the set of search results with the call-to-action elements for presentation to the user, wherein the call-to-action elements are presented to the user in proximity to their associated search results.
