Abstract

Embodiments relate to implementing a query-driven virtual social media network group. An aspect includes providing, through a social media network, a search function option incorporated into a user interface that is configured for access by a user of the social media network. Another aspect includes receiving, at the social media network, a query from the user through the search function option of the user interface and searching a database of user profiles and content history for information that satisfies the query. The user profiles and the content history include content received from users as members of the social media network. A further aspect includes creating a virtual social media network group from results of the searching and providing access to a view of the virtual social media network group via the user interface for the user.
