Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a people search that uses proximity in ranking results. A search query for a person is obtained from a user. The search query is executed on a directory comprising profiles that each correspond to a respective person. Resulting profiles that match the search query are thereby obtained. The resulting profiles are ordered based at least in part on a measure of proximity of each respective person to the user.
