Filtering structured search queries based on privacy settings
In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving an unstructured text query, identifying nodes and edges from a social graph that correspond to n-grams in the text query, generating structured queries that include references to the identified nodes and edges, receiving a selection of a structured query, identifying target nodes that correspond to the structured query, and then generating search results that include target nodes with privacy settings where the nodes and edges along the path connecting the target node and the querying user are all visible to the user.
