METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR GENERATING SEARCH RESULTS

A search query relating to a search for people and including one or more search terms is received (12). A search graph for the search is created from a previously created graph which is a directional graph (10) in which people are represented by nodes and content is represented by nodes or edges. The search graph is generated by filtering (14) out nodes or edges that represent content that is determined not to be relevant to the search terms in the search query; and, for the remaining content that is determined to be relevant to the search terms in the search query, adding (16) to the graph a measure of the relevance of the content to the search terms. The search results are generated by operating (18) on the search graph to identify people in the search graph who are sources of content that is relevant to the search terms.
