Abstract
Systems and methods for improving search results using social routing are provided. In example embodiments, an affinity metric and match metric are determined for a plurality of users. The affinity metric indicates an interaction level between a given user and the match metric indicates how well the given user matches parameters of a search string. Based on a correlation between the affinity metric and the match metric, one or more items of content may be transmitted to one or more selected users. Improved search results can then be generated based on interactions with the one or more items of content.
