Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for grouping related entities. One of the methods includes receiving a search request that includes query text that identifies a first entity. A first entity node in an entity graph that represents the first entity is identified. A highest ranked first group of related entity nodes from a ranking of a plurality of groups of related entity nodes is identified, wherein each related entity node in the first group is connected to the first entity node by a respective path from the related entity node through one or more links in an entity graph.
