Abstract

A method of generating an audience of user equipment users according to a user-searchable index for audience curation. The method includes generating the user-searchable index for audience curation, receiving user input describing a user's desired characteristic of an audience as user-friendly input through a public-facing selection interface, and parsing the user input to generate a distributed search query complying with a search syntax of a search engine. The method further includes searching the user-searchable index to determine a quantity of prospective audience members having the desired characteristic, transmitting the quantity of prospective audience members to the user to cause a terminal of the user to display the quantity of prospective audience members on a display, and transmitting the query to a first network element configured to execute the query to perform a desired action of the user when the user approves the quantity of prospective audience members.
