In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a search query inputted at a client device. The method includes searching a local cache of the client device to identify one or more objects stored in the local cache that match the search query, each object being associated with the online social network. The method includes generated, at the client device, a local search-results page including one or more local search results corresponding to one or more of the identified objects, respectively, and one or more search pivot elements corresponding to one or more object-types, respectively. Each local search result may be retrieved from the cache of the client device for display responsive to receiving the search query. Each search pivot element may be activatable to send the search query to the online social network and retrieve from the online social network one or more remote search results.

Pivoting search results on online social networks

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first search query including a selection of a first query-domain. The first query-domain may correspond to a first object-type. The method includes identifying a first set of objects of the plurality of objects matching the first object-type. The method includes sending a first search-results interface responsive to the first search query. The first search-results interface may include references to one or more of the identified objects from the first set of objects and one or more query-filter elements. Each query-filter element may correspond to a query-filter associated with the first query-domain. Each query-filter element may be activatable to apply the associated query-filter to the identified objects. The method includes receiving a second search query including a selection of one or more of the query-filters in response to the first user activating the corresponding query-filter elements.

Constructing queries using query filters on online social networks

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first search query including a selection of a first query-domain. The first query-domain may correspond to a first object-type. The method includes identifying a first set of objects of the plurality of objects matching the first object-type.
