Abstract
Techniques for improving an interactive user interface of a messaging application by dynamically identifying a configurable number of top-ranked targets for a new message from a plurality of possible targets for the new message are disclosed. An interaction with the messaging application is detected. The interaction is determined to be indicative of an intent to identify a target for the new message from the plurality of possible targets for the new message. The identifying of the targets is performed by applying a matching algorithm to the one or more keywords. The matching algorithm blends a ranking of individual connections associated with the member with a ranking of group conversations associated with the member. Responsive to the detection of the interaction, a listing of identifiers associated with the targets is caused to be presented in a search results portion of the user interface.
