Abstract
A device may receive information that identifies a search query. The device may use the search query to cause a search of internal and external documents to be performed to identify internal and external search results. The device may cause the internal search results and the external search results to be presented for display. The internal search results may be presented for display to visually distinguish the internal search results from the external search results. The device may receive an indication that an external search result has been flagged for review, and may provide a notification that the external search result has been flagged for review. The device may determine that the external search result has been approved for presentation as an internal search result, and may store an indication that the external search result is to be identified as an internal search result for a future search.
