Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving from a first user of an online social network a search query, searching data stores to identify objects that match the search query, where identifying the objects is also based in part on the privacy setting for each object, determining for each identified object a visibility of the object with respect to the first user, and generating one or more search results corresponding to the search query.
