Abstract
A method and system for automatically updating searches are described. In one embodiment, a first search result may be compared with a second search result to automatically identify from the first search result at least one data item that is new or modified as compared to the second search result. The first search result may comprise a first set of data items satisfying a first set of user-specific search criteria, and the second search result may comprise a second set of data items satisfying a second set of user-specific search criteria. A notification of a result of the comparing may be sent to a user device.
