determining that a threshold number of search results has been exceeded;

determining an oldest one of the plurality of search results; and

removing the oldest one of the plurality of search results from the display, wherein after the removing, the threshold number of search results is no longer exceeded.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a user command to enter a search user interface;

displaying the search user interface in response to the user command; and

requesting search results for a current search and the plurality of previously saved searches by re-executing the current search and the plurality of previously saved searches, wherein the requesting for the search results is done automatically without the user intervention.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying comprises:

determining that a first one of the plurality of search results displayed for a first one of the previously saved searches comprises a first set of search results; and

determining that a second one of the plurality of search results displayed for the first one of the previously saved searches comprises a second set of search results different from the first set of search results.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises:

determining a selection of a channel associated with the request to execute one or more of the previously saved searches executable against the channel, wherein the channel includes both relevant and irrelevant content corresponding to the previously saved searches;

identifying at least one of the previously saved searches is irrelevant to content available on the selected channel; and

receiving the updated plurality of search results for each of the plurality of previously saved searches that are relevant to content available on the selected channel, wherein the identified at least one previously saved searches that is irrelevant to the content available on the selected channel is not re-run.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the previously saved searches is associated with a channel other than the selected channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the re-executing is performed upon a boot event of a computing device.

11. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having one or more instructions operational on a client device which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

determine that an interface including one or more previously saved searches is displayed, each of the previously saved searches corresponding to a set of one or more search terms;

receive an updated plurality of search results for each of the previously saved searches from a remote server, wherein a signal to the remote server to re-run the previously saved searches is triggered based on a trigger event, and wherein each of the search results corresponds to execution of a corresponding one of the previously saved searches performed at a different time;

display a grouping of the plurality of search results for each of a plurality of different search terms, wherein each search term is associated with a different grouping of search results, wherein at least one of the groupings of search results comprises the plurality of search results for each of the plurality of previously saved searches on data across a plurality of individual time periods, wherein a first set of the displayed search results corresponding to a first time period of a first one of the previously saved searches differs from a second set of the displayed search results corresponding to a second time period of the first one of the previously saved searches, wherein the first set of displayed search results and the second set of displayed search results include at least one overlapping result that is displayed;

re-execute a first one of the previously saved searches automatically without user intervention;

automatically receive a most recent search result on at least a portion of the data that has been updated for a more recent date/time based on the re-executed first one of the previously saved searches, for a first one of the previously saved searches; and

update the display of the grouping of the plurality of search results, wherein the updated display includes the most recent search result for the more recent date/time for the first one of the saved searches, displayed concurrently with the first set and the second set of search results that were previously displayed.

12. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the data for the most recent search result comprises one or more new or most relevant contents since a previous search date.

13. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display one or more dates to indicate when each of the plurality of previous searches was performed, wherein each date is displayed adjacent to its respective portion of the search results.

14. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

display a search term used by each of the one or more previous searches.

15. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a user command to enter a search user interface;

display the search user interface in response to the user command; and

request for search results for the current search and for the one or more previously saved searches, wherein the request for the search results is done automatically without the user intervention.

16. The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of search results are generated using search terms based on a user profile.

17. A system for displaying search results, comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

one or more hardware processors, coupled to the display and memory and configured to:

determine that an interface including one or more previously saved searches is displayed, each of the previously saved searches corresponding to a set of one or more search terms;

receive an updated plurality of search results for each of the previously saved searches from a remote server, wherein a signal to the remote server to re-run the previously saved searches is triggered based on a trigger event, and wherein each of the search results corresponds to execution of a corresponding one of the previously saved searches performed at a different time;

display a grouping of the plurality of search results for each of a plurality of different search terms, wherein each search term is associated with a different grouping of search results, wherein at least one of the groupings of search results comprises the plurality of search results for each of the plurality of previously saved searches on data across a plurality of individual time periods, wherein a first set of the displayed search results corresponding to a first time period of a first one of the previously saved searches differs from a second set of the displayed search results corresponding to a second time period of the first one of the previously saved searches, wherein the first set of displayed search results and the second set of displayed search results include at least one overlapping result that is displayed;

re-execute a first one of the previously saved searches automatically without user intervention;

receive a most recent search result on at least a portion of the data that has been updated for a more recent date/time based on the re-executed first one of the previously saved searches, for a first one of the previously saved searches; and
