Abstract
A computer implemented method for searching data in a plurality of data sources is described. At a host system, a request to search a local data source is received. The request is associated with a user account of the local data source. The request is processed to determine one or more third party data sources associated with the user account. Local search parameters associated with the local data source and third party search parameters associated with the one or more third party data sources are dynamically assembled. The local search parameters and the third party search parameters are transmitted to a client device for display. A host system comprising a processor and memory storing instructions for implementing the method is also described.
