Abstract

A user interface comprising at least a set of reaction icons configured to initiate a search of content of a communication platform is described. In an example, at least the set of reaction icons can be presented via the user interface of the communication platform, wherein individual reaction icons of the set of reaction icons are selectable as search parameters in the user interface. In response to receiving a selection of at least one reaction icon, a search for content, associated with the at least one reaction icon, stored in a database associated with the communication platform can be initiated.

Claims (46)

1. A method, implemented by at least one computing device of a communication platform, comprising:

determining a set of reaction icons based at least in part on interaction data associated with content in the communication platform;

causing presentation of at least the set of reaction icons via a user interface of the communication platform, wherein individual reaction icons associated with the set of reaction icons are selectable as search parameters in the user interface;

receiving a selection of at least one reaction icon of the set of reaction icons; and

in response to receiving the selection of the at least one reaction icon, initiating a search for content associated with the selection of the at least one reaction icon stored in a database associated with the communication platform.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of reaction icons is a first set of reaction icons associated with a user of the communication platform.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising causing presentation of a second set of reaction icons via the user interface, wherein the second set of reaction icons is associated with at least one different user of the communication platform.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, recency of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the recency of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, frequencies of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the frequencies of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the individual reaction icons are representative of at least one of an emoji or a reactji.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing, based at least in part on initiating the search of the database, one or more results to be presented via the user interface, wherein the one or more results are associated with the at least one reaction icon.

8. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

determining a set of reaction icons based at least in part on interaction data associated with content in a communication platform;

causing presentation of at least the set of reaction icons via a user interface of the communication platform, wherein individual reaction icons of the set of reaction icons are selectable as search parameters in the user interface;

receiving a selection of at least one reaction icon of the set of reaction icons; and

in response to receiving the selection of the at least one reaction icon, initiating a search for content associated with the selection of the at least one reaction icon stored in a database associated with the communication platform.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of reaction icons is a first set of reaction icons associated with a user of the communication platform.

10. The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising causing presentation of a second set of reaction icons via the user interface, wherein the second set of reaction icons is associated with at least one different user of the communication platform.

11. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, recency of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the recency of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

12. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, frequencies of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the frequencies of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the individual reaction icons are representative of at least one of an emoji or a reactji.

14. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising, causing, based at least in part on initiating the search of the database, one or more results to be presented via the user interface, wherein the one or more results are associated with the at least one reaction icon.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining a set of reaction icons based at least in part on interaction data associated with content in a communication platform;

causing presentation of at least the set of reaction icons via a user interface of the communication platform, wherein individual reaction icons of the set of reaction icons are selectable as search parameters in the user interface;

receiving a selection of at least one reaction icon of the set of reaction icons; and

in response to receiving the selection of the at least one reaction icon, initiating a search for content associated with the selection of the at least one reaction icon stored in a database associated with the communication platform.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the set of reaction icons is a first set of reaction icons associated with a user of the communication platform.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 16 , the operations further comprising causing presentation of a second set of reaction icons via the user interface, wherein the second set of reaction icons is associated with at least one different user of the communication platform.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, recency of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the recency of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:

determining, based at least in part on the interaction data, frequencies of interactions with individual reaction icons associated with the communication platform; and

determining the set of reaction icons further based at least in part on the frequencies of interactions determined for the individual reaction icons.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the individual reaction icons are representative of at least one of an emoji or a reactji.
