Social network system with relevance searching

Abstract:

A social network system that provides a keyword search result set from content within the social network receives from an enterprise application a business object and an associated system of record, and generates a social object for the social network, where the social object corresponds to the business object and associated system of record. The system generates a plurality of conversations related to the social object, where each conversation comprises content. The system indexes each of the conversations as a conversation document and receives a keyword search term. The system then searches for the keyword search term within the conversation documents, and generates a result set of relevant conversations in response to the searching, where the relevant conversations are displayed in order of relevance.
