About the Social Searching Whitepaper:
A "social search" is a web search designed to feature the links that people in your social network have liked, shared, or tweeted. To perform a social search in one of the leading search engines, a user first grants the search engine access to his or her social networks through a simple enabling mechanism like logging in or completing a profile. The search engine can then generate search results specifically tailored to that user, elevating links that members of the user's social networks have liked, shared, or tweeted, and highlighting those links within the results display. For users, social searching is a powerful new tool for getting recommendations for products, services, or anything else from the people they know and trust.
