In a method and system for searching multiple data sources for objects with certain attributes, wherein the data sources potentially have different data formats, the searching is done by first reading the data in the data sources, storing the data, and then searching the stored data. The method and system preferably includes a user interface with a template for displaying data from data sources, for manually supplementing the data, and for defining search criteria.
