Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for managing records in a storage device. Responsive to receiving a search query, a computer determines a result set for the search query including one or more one records from a record storage device, and determines whether the one or more records contain a link to a profile associated to an individual in a corporate directory. Responsive to determining that the one or more records contain the link to the profile associated with the individual in the corporate directory, the computer accesses the corporate directory and determines a corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory. Responsive to determining the corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory, the computer determines a relevancy score for the corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory.
