A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method described herein are directed to a Similar Profiles Engine. The Similar Profiles Engine generates an inverted index query based on one or more portions of profile data of a target member account of a social network service. The Similar Profiles Engine identifies respective profile data, of one or more candidate member accounts in the social network service, that maps to at least one inverted index filter, the at least one inverted index filter matching at least a portion of the inverted index query. The Similar Profiles Engine calculates a similarity score between each respective candidate member account and the target member account, and causes a display of identifiers of one or more candidate member accounts in a user interface of a client device based on respective similarity scores.
