Recurring search automation with search event detection

A computing system for recurring search automation, the computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the computing system cause the processor to:
• automatically identify a search user interface component of a user interface in accordance with a search user interface component identification heuristic, the search user interface component identification heuristic comprising:
• determining a probabilistic correlation between a search event and the search user interface component of the user interface with respect to a plurality of user interactions with the search user interface component of the user interface,
• wherein the probabilistic correlation exceeds a threshold;
• detect search events associated with searches performed with one or more user interfaces and with respect to one or more search engines and wherein the search event is not explicitly identified to the processor as associated with the search user interface component of the user interface, the user interface comprising a graphical user interface and the search user interface component identification heuristic being based at least in part on one or more structural aspects of a rendered appearance the graphical user interface;
• generate a recurring search responsive to detection of a search event, the recurring search being based at least in part on information about the detected search event provided by the search detection module and associated with a recurrence schedule and being distinct from the detected search event performed with the one or more user interfaces;
• generate search results at least in part by causing performance of the recurring search according to the recurrence schedule;
• and
• provide data corresponding to at least a portion of the generated search results for presentation.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media collectively having thereon computer-executable instructions that configure one or more computers to collectively, at least:

• automatically identify a search user interface component of a user interface in accordance with a search user interface component identification heuristic, the search user interface component identification heuristic comprising:
• determining a probabilistic correlation between a search event and the search user interface component of the user interface with respect to a plurality of user interactions with the search user interface component of the user interface,
• wherein the probabilistic correlation exceeds a threshold;
• causing to detect a search event associated with a search performed with a user interface and with respect to a search engine and wherein the search event is not explicitly identified to the processor as associated with the search user interface component of the user interface, the user interface comprising a graphical user interface and the search user interface component identification heuristic being based at least in part on one or more interrelationships between rendered appearances of graphical user interface components of the graphical user interface;
• generate, by the processor and the user interface, a recurring search object based at least in part on information about the detected search event, the recurring search object including a specification of a recurrence schedule and being distinct from the detected search event performed with the user interface;
• generate, by the processor, search results at least in part by causing performance of at least one search in accordance with the recurring search object;
• and
• provide, by the processor, data corresponding to at least a portion of the generated search results for presentation.
