    Abstract: A server contains an executable program and is in communication with an online social network. The server is accessed by a subscriber on a client system executing an application program interface to communicate with the server in which the server accesses indexes of data maintained on an online social network platform and retrieves the accessed data. The subscriber creates an account on the server. The executable program builds an index of relevant content for that subscriber to retrieve. The data is processed and aggregated on the server through a subscriber-specific relevancy engine on the server and the aggregated data is delivered to the subscriber on the client system in a searchable database. The subscriber may execute a search query on the client system in communication with the server and search query is processed returning relevant results to the user.
