Systems and methods are provided for identifying relevant information for an entity, referred to as a seed entity. A plurality of search queries can be generated each comprising a property of a seed entity or one of the entities associated with the seed entity (seed-linked entities). Preferably, a collection of search queries includes ones representing different properties of the seed entity and properties of different seed-linked entities. Optionally, the collection of search queries is optimized to reduce search burden. Searches can then be conducted with the search queries in one or more data sources to obtain a plurality of search results, wherein each search result comprises a hit entity and one or more entities associated with the hit entity (hit-linked entity). For each of the search results, a score can be determined taking as input (a) likelihood of match between the seed entity and the hit entity or between a seed-linked entity and a hit-linked entity, (b) presence of a new entity in the search result not present in the search queries or a difference between the new entity and an entity present in the search queries, and (c) characteristic of the new entity in the search result. Based on the scores, high priority search results can be presented a user for further analysis.
