System and method of tracking interactions with a networked collaboration platform

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving a search query from a client device;
• obtaining search results based on the search query;
• causing the client device to display at least a portion of the search results in a search-result region of a search user interface rendered on the client device, the displayed portion of the search results including a set of object identifiers, wherein each respective object identifier of the set of object identifiers identifies a respective content item of a networked collaboration platform;
• determining a user identifier of a user associated with the client device;
• obtaining a user event log from the networked collaboration platform, the user event log including a list of time-indexed event records generated in response to user interactions with the networked collaboration platform;
• converting the user event log into a user-to-container feature set representative of interactions in the networked collaboration platform between the user and respective containers of a set of containers, the user-to-container feature set comprising a data object formatted in a computer readable data interchange format and comprising:
• an identifier of a container of the set of containers;
• and
• a count value indicating a number of instances in which the user modified a content item in the container of the set of containers in the networked collaboration platform;
• computing a respective collaboration score for each respective container of the set of containers based on the user-to-container feature set;
• ranking container identifiers associated with the set of containers based on the collaboration scores and selecting one or more of the container identifiers based at least in part on the ranking;
• causing a set of graphical objects to be displayed on the client device in a filter picker region of the search user interface, each respective graphical object corresponding to a respective one of the selected one or more container identifiers;
• and
• in response to detecting a user interaction with a particular graphical object for a particular container identifier, the interaction indicative of a selection of the particular graphical object:
• filtering the retrieved search results based on the particular container identifier to produce a set of filtered search results;
• and
• causing the portion of the search results displayed in the search-result region of the search user interface to be replaced with at least a portion of the set of filtered search results.

A client computer system comprising:

• a display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• display, on the display, a search query user interface;
• receive a search query in the search user interface;
• send the search query and a first user identifier associated with a user of the client computer system to a service of a collaboration platform;
• receive search results based on the search query from the service of the collaboration platform;
• display at least a portion of the search results in a search result region of the search user interface;
• receive a set of graphical objects, each respective graphical object corresponding to a respective user identifier of a set of selected user identifiers, the selected user identifiers selected by:
• obtaining a user event log from the networked collaboration platform, the user event log including a list of time-indexed event records generated in response to user interactions with the networked collaboration platform;
• converting the user event log into a user-to-user feature set representative of interactions in the networked collaboration platform between a first user of the client computer system and respective second users of a set of second users, the user-to-user feature set comprising a data object formatted in a computer readable data interchange format and comprising:
• an identifier of a second user of the set of second users;
• and
• a count value indicating a number of instances in which the first user and the second user modified a same content item in the networked collaboration platform;
• computing a respective collaboration score for each respective second user of the set of second users based on the user-to-user feature set;
• ranking user identifiers associated with the set of second users based on the collaboration scores and selecting one or more of the ranked user identifiers based at least in part on the ranking;
• and
• selecting the set of graphical objects, each respective graphical object of the set of graphical objects corresponding to a respective one of the selected one or more ranked user identifiers
• display at least a subset of the set of graphical objects in a filter picker region of the search user interface;
• in response to detecting a user interaction with a particular graphical object for a particular user identifier, the interaction indicative of a selection of the particular graphical object:
• causing the displayed search results to be filtered based on the particular user identifier, thereby producing a set of filtered search results;
• and
• replacing the displayed portion of the search results with at least a portion of the set of filtered search results.
