Abstract

Methods and systems for searching enterprise data are provided. The method is for searching data and includes identifying edges associating data and/or people. The method also includes assigning a resistance value to an edge based on strength(s) of association, the resistance value being inversely related to the strength of the association. The method further includes forming a resistance graph connecting the user with the data and the people based on the values of the edges. Additionally, the method includes providing results for a search query from a user based on the resistance graph with lower resistance values being prioritized for the user.
