Abstract

In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for conducting a search (93) of a network for information related to a topic (95) specified by a search initiator. A query may be generated that includes search information and a first-degree contact (102). The first-degree contact may be an electronic record that represents a member of the social network, and the search information may identify the topic. One or more electronic records that each represent a social-network member may be searched using the query to identify one or more social-network members that are identified in connection with the topic and who are directly or indirectly associated with the first-degree contact.
