Ranking contact entries

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• identifying a query of a user;
• identifying, from one or more contacts collections associated with the user, a first contact entry based on one or more relationships between the query and the first contact entry;
• identifying first contact entry temporal data of the first contact entry, the first contact entry temporal data indicating at least one first temporal characteristic of multiple past interactions of the user with a first contact of the first contact entry;
• identifying, from the one or more contacts collections, a second contact entry based on one or more relationships between the query and the second contact entry;
• identifying second contact entry temporal data of the second contact entry, the second contact entry temporal data indicating at least one second temporal characteristic of multiple past interactions of the user with a second contact of the second contact entry;
• determining query temporal data, the query temporal data indicating one or more of a date and a time associated with submission of the query;
• ranking the first contact entry relative to the second contact entry based on one or more relationships between the query temporal data and:
• the first temporal data of the first contact entry, and the second temporal data of the second contact entry;
• and
• providing, for presentation in response to the query, information related to both the first contact entry and the second contact entry;
• wherein prominence of the first contact entry and the second contact entry in the provided information is based on the ranking.

A system including memory and one or more processor s operable to execute instructions stored in the memory, comprising instructions to:

• identify a query of a user, the query submitted via a user device;
• identify a contact indication measure of the query, the contact indication measure indicative of likelihood the query seeks contact information, wherein the contact indication measure is determined based on which of multiple interfaces, accessible via the user device, is utilized by the user in submitting the query;
• identify, from a contacts collection personal to the user, a contact entry of the contacts collection based on one or more relationships between the query and the contact entry and based on the contact indication measure of the query;
• determine a contact entry score for the contact entry based at least in part on the one or more relationships between the query and the contact entry;
• identify, from a source distinct from the contacts collection, at least one additional information item based on one or more relationships between the query and the additional information item, the additional information item being a non-contact entry information item;
• determine an additional information item score for the additional information item based at least in part on the one or more relationships between the query and the additional information item, wherein the additional information item score is distinct from the contact entry score;
• rank the contact entry and the additional information item based on the contact entry score and the additional information item score;
• and
• provide, based on the ranking and responsive to the query:
• contact information related to the contact entry, and
• additional information related to the additional information item, the additional information provided as a result for presentation separate from the contact information.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• identifying a query of a user, the query submitted via a user device;
• identifying a contact indication measure of the query, the contact indication measure indicative of likelihood the query seeks contact information, wherein the contact indication measure is determined based on which of multiple interfaces, accessible via the user device, is utilized by the user in submitting the query;
• identifying, from a contacts collection personal to the user, a contact entry of the contacts collection based on one or more relationships between the query and the contact entry;
• determining a contact entry score for the contact entry based at least in part on the one or more relationships between the query and the contact entry and based on the contact indication measure of the query;
• identifying, from a source distinct from the contacts collection, at least one additional information item based on one or more relationships between the query and the additional information item, the additional information item being a non-contact entry information item;
• determining an additional information item score for the additional information item based at least in part on the one or more relationships between the query and the additional information item, wherein the additional information item score is distinct from the contact entry score;
• ranking the contact entry and the additional information item based on the contact entry score and the additional information item score;
• and
• providing, based on the ranking and responsive to the query
• contact information related to the contact entry, and
• additional information related to the additional information item, the additional information provided as a result for presentation separate from the contact information.
