New Database Catalogs Decades of SETI Searches

Scientists at the SETI Institute has created a sizeable new online  database which catalogs all of the searches for extraterrestrial life  since 1960. Dubbed 'Technosearch,'  the collection was the brainchild of famed SETI astronomer Dr. Jill  Tarter. Launched last week, the searchable website features a whopping  140 different searches which have been conducted over the last five  decades by various radar and optical telescopes around the world.

The purpose of the project is largely twofold in that the organizers  behind Technosearch hope that it can serve as a proverbial library of  past searches for researchers and also act as something of a  clearinghouse that will prevent previously-examined areas of space from  being inadvertently looked at again. To that end, prior to the project's  creation, there had been no central database of SETI searches, which  has proven to be somewhat problematic for researchers as the number of  projects looking for ETs accumulated significantly over the years.
