Thanks, I'll check out DuckDuckGo, it sounds like it may have possibilities.
I have looked at rss aggregators in the past. It's kind of hard to find one that consolidates similar postings in multiple locations. This also may be worth another look. All the best. Doug.

And indiscrete browser plugins are not good for a corporate computer. You still need something to traverse the web and find new/alternate regulatory information. Related - there are commercial aggregation services for compliance engineers for $$$. And as for 'keywords' much of the SEO gaming will not allow a simplistic parsing for words or phrases to return reliable data sets. Prefer the API for DuckDuckGo (duckduckgo.com/api) for search and url traversals, and if you wanna play code monkey, relatively easy to write 'focused' crawlers that feed into parsers. My stuff is based on the common Python libs BeautifulSoup and scrapy. But this type of solution is useless to those not having a basic understanding of the insanity buried in a site's html/css/xml stuff. The most common 'off-the-shelf' solutions, where there is no desire to code monkey, are to simply set up your mail client to suck on selected RSS feeds, or use some other feed aggregator. Many sites used the recently discontinued Yahoo Pipes, so there may be blinky data streams for some pages for a few more weeks. Make life easier? As my gunny used to say, "life is supposed to be hard, and then you die..."

Once in a while I skim the various public notices web pages for the major certifying agencies to see if there is anything i should be aware of, although I am not very diligent about this. I did find a collection of public notice pages and setup my web browser do the checking with the Distil app (https://distill.io/). Alternatively if something suspicious shows up, a quick Google search with a few well conditioned keywords will sometimes bear fruit. I was wondering if there are any resources available that provide a keyword searchable digest of all these diverse sources. It would make life easier.
