triggering a second supplement search of the content hosted by the one or more servers in the networked environment in response to at least one of the supplemental results being tagged as malignant content.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the URLs based on at least one of the first plurality of attributes included in the at least one of the results that has been tagged as malignant content.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more servers in the networked environment are webservers and the digital content hosted by the one or more servers is websites including webpages.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the websites utilizes a tree structure in which at least some of the webpages are incapable of being found based on searches using search terms.

11. A system for searching digital content in a networked environment to identify malignant content, the system comprising:
