Abstract
A system and method for personalized search user searcher features may include obtaining a search term from a member of a social network at a user device via the network interface. An initial result may be generated based on the search term, including a first group of content items from a social network and stored in a content database, the content items including member profiles of members of the social network. Each of the content items of the first group may be ranked based on information indicative of interactions from an activity database with the content items of the first group, the interactions being by at least a second user of the social network different than the first user. A second group of the content items may be displayed, including at least some of the first group of the content items, based on the rank of the first group of the content items.
