Grouping Recommended Search Queries on Online Social Networks
First Claim
1. A method comprising, by a computing device:
- accessing a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them, the nodes comprising;
a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network; and
a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network;
generating a plurality of cards, each card comprising a suggested query referencing a query-domain associated with the online social network and zero or more query-filters for the query-domain, wherein each query-filter references one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes or one or more edges of the plurality of edges;
calculating a card-affinity for each card of the plurality of cards with respect to the other cards of the plurality of cards;
generating one or more card clusters from the plurality of cards, each card cluster comprising one or more cards that each have a card-affinity with respect to the other cards in the card cluster that is greater than a threshold card-affinity; and
sending one or more card clusters to the first user for display on a page currently accessed by the first user.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph that includes a number of nodes and edges connecting the nodes. Each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them. The nodes include a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network and a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network. The method also includes generating a number of cards. Each card includes a suggested query referencing a query-domain associated with the online social network and zero or more query-filters for the query-domain. Each query-filter references one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes or one or more edges of the plurality of edges.

19. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
-
access a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them, the nodes comprising; a first node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network; and a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with the online social network; generate a plurality of cards, each card comprising a suggested query referencing a query-domain associated with the online social network and zero or more query-filters for the query-domain, wherein each query-filter references one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes or one or more edges of the plurality of edges; calculate a card-affinity for each card of the plurality of cards with respect to the other cards of the plurality of cards; generate one or more card clusters from the plurality of cards, each card cluster comprising one or more cards that each have a card-affinity with respect to the other cards in the card cluster that is greater than a threshold card-affinity; and send one or more card clusters to the first user for display on a page currently accessed by the first user.
