Abstract

Using transaction data to rank search results is described. A payment service computing platform may receive transaction data associated with users of a payment service, and may receive a search query from a payment application associated with the payment service and executing on a device of a user. The payment service computing platform may then generate a list of entities based at least in part on a likelihood, determined using a portion of the transaction data associated with the entities, that the user will be able to successfully complete a transaction in association with the entities, and may cause a user interface of the payment application to present at least a portion of the list of entities as a search result to the search query.
