Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system, a query inputted by a first user at a search client, the search client being associated with context data from a page associated with the search client. The context data identifies: a type of the page associated with the search client, a social context of the page associated with the search client, and a threshold number of search results for display. The method includes identifying one or more entities matching the query and ranking each of the identified entities based at least in part on the social context and the type of the page associated with the search client. The method includes sending, to the client system, instructions for presenting a search-results interface including the threshold number of search results corresponding to the threshold number of top ranking identified entities.
