Abstract
As an example, a server hosting a search engine may receive a search query and determine a searched time interval, a searched object, and a searched event. The server may select, based on the searched time interval, a portion of an object-event bipartite graph that was created using information gathered from social media sites. The server may compare attributes of individual events in the portion with attributes of the searched event to identify a set of relevant events. The server may determine objects associated with the relevant events and compare attributes of individual objects with the attributes of the searched object to identify a set of relevant objects. The search engine may provide search results that include the set of relevant objects ordered according to their similarity to the searched object.
