Search Alert helps you detect changes on the web. For example, it can monitor the price of an item or alert you when your favorite band is in town. If you have ever found yourself going back to the same web site more than once, just to see what is new, Search Alert is for you.

Search Alert features sophisticated algorithms to “tune in” the level of change that interests you. Maybe you only need to know if a certain phrase appears on a page or if it was removed. Search Alert uses “fuzzy logic” to analyze the page and alert you if the page has changed a little or a lot.

Search Alert runs hourly in the background, but with the phone/tablet plugged in and the app open, it will run every second! So, if you know something is changing soon, you can be first in line to get it.

Features:
* Detect web page changes.
* Schedule checks between once a week to once a second.
* Alert when a word or phrase appears (or does not appear) on a page.
* Change sensitivity tuning.

What you can do:
* Monitor an online retailer for price changes or restocks.
* Watch event calendars for new events.
* Guard your name/company reputation by checking blog posts.
* Be the first to know of breaking news.
