20. A system comprising:
-
an electronic communication search module configured to; obtain search criteria corresponding to a user search request, and identify a set of electronic communications of the user that satisfy the search criteria; and an electronic communication ranking module configured to; generate, for each electronic communication in the set of electronic communications, a weighted score for each of multiple social cues that indicate how the user interacts with an individual in the electronic communication, each social cue having an associated weight, generate, for each electronic communication in the set of electronic communications, a ranking for the electronic communication based on the scores of the multiple social cues for the electronic communication, and output an indication of the rankings for the set of electronic communications; and a user feedback analysis module configured to; automatically identify, based on user feedback, one or more social cues the associated weights of which are to be adjusted, and increase or decrease, based on the user feedback, the weights associated with one or more of the multiple social cues.
