Is there a way to schedule a google search to be done once every day on a few keywords, and notify me if it finds a page that matches those search terms? (I searched and didn't find anything, except scheduling Google Calendar events.) Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On https://scholar.google.com (Google Scholar) there is a create alert button. It sends an email when new matches are made. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:12, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Google Alerts is the same idea, but more generally (not just for the academic area). -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 11:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll look into that and see. (Google Alerts) Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
