摘要

Methods and apparatuses described herein can conduct and organize web searches and/or news searches based on profiles and topics lists for entities (e.g., a person, business, or organization) or subjects. Entity profiles may include biographical information (e.g., name, employer, school, location) to enhance accuracy of web searches and news searches. A topics list may be created and associated with any entity/subject profile, and news searches may be conducted based on topics included in the topics list for any profile. Results from web or news searches may be saved in or otherwise linked to the entity/subject profile. Profiles may be created for multiple entities and subjects, and each profile may have numerous topics associated with such profile. Such profiles and topics lists may be edited and/or recalled to facilitate launching of web or news searches to gather news and/or other information relating to the selected entity, subject or topic.
