Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a search query to search for multimedia objects of the online social network; searching an index to identify multimedia objects based on the search query, wherein the index indexes multimedia objects and associated keywords, each keyword being extracted from communications associated with a respective multimedia object, wherein each communication is of a particular communication-type, and wherein each identified multimedia object is indexed with keywords matching at least a portion of the search query; calculating, for each identified multimedia object, an object-score based on a communication-type of a communication from which one or more of the matching keywords were sourced; and sending instructions for presenting a search-results page to a client system, the search-results page including references to identified multimedia objects having an object-score greater than a threshold object-score.
