Abstract
A system, according to some example embodiments, includes a commerce database storing item data for a plurality of items offered for sale. A search criteria database stores search criteria associated with a user, the search criteria including search frequency information indicating frequency of a search update to be performed using the search criteria. A search server operation retrieves the search criteria from the search criteria database and performs an update search of the commerce database, the search being performed using the search criteria and in accordance with the search frequency information. A notification engine operationally identifies an update to a previous search result based on the update search and generates a notification of the update to the previous search result.
