Abstract
Systems and techniques for searching multiple data sources are described herein. Users may specify searches of multiple data sources to occur on a periodic basis. The searches may be configured to search time or date ranges that have not previously been searched. A user may select the data sources of interest and specify search terms, review and edit previously created searches, and review results of searches. The system automatically performs the specified searches, and notifies the user and/or a team of the user each time new results are found. The system may efficiently search the data sources by storing previous search results and comparing the previous results to current search results to identify new search results.
