Abstract
This specification describes technologies relating to searching. In general, aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving a search query from a user of a search service, identifying search results including general search results responsive to the search query and social search results associated with content generated by one or more members of a user social graph associated with the user that are responsive to the search query, the search results corresponding to digital content stored in one or more computer-readable storage media, determining that a first social search result is associated with a first muted member that is a member of the user social graph, generating filtered search results in response to determining that the social search result is associated with the first muted member, and providing the filtered search results for display to the user.
