Techniques described herein may be used to identify anomalies in a joined region of two datasets. For example, a computer system may determine an elevation anomaly data point in based on an elevation criterion. The computer system may determine a set of buffer points surrounding the elevation anomaly data points. The computer system may user the set of buffer points to reduce the number of data points for adjusting. The computer system may determine a reduction factor based on the buffer points. The computer system may then apply the reduction factor to points in the buffer points and other points.

Techniques are provided through which a user is verified as authorized to modify a website. A web crawler generates a filename and content for the user, who purports to be authorized to modify a particular website. The web crawler sends the filename and content toward the user. The user stores a file with the filename on a server that hosts the website. The user places the content within the file. The web crawler determines whether the file is stored on the server and whether the content is in the file. If so, then the web crawler stores information that indicates that the user is authorized to receive information pertaining to the website, which may be confidential information. If the file is not stored on the server or if the file does not contain the content, then the web crawler does not provide any information to the user pertaining to the website.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating and displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set. According to the present invention, a method for displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set for a query comprises generating a primary result set and a secondary result set, the primary result set and secondary result set generated according to one or more respective disparate search algorithms. A difference result set is determined according to a difference between items in the primary result set and second result set, which is displayed to a user.
