Claim:
1. A method for searching for entities based on trust score, the method comprising: receiving, from a user device, a request to search for entities in a computer network, the request including an indication of a desired trust score for the entities; determining a current location of the user device; accessing a database comprising a plurality of database entries corresponding to entities in the computer network, wherein each entry is associated with a trust score for at least one entity and a current location for the at least one entity; searching the database entries to identify an entity associated with a trust score that is better than or equal to the desired trust score; retrieving an indication of the current location of the identified entity from the database; comparing the current location of the user device with the current location of the entity to determine whether the current location of the entity is within a threshold geography; transmitting to the user device an indication of the entity corresponding to the current location of the entity, wherein the entity is a first entity; storing the request to search for entities in a computer network; automatically performing, without further user input, a subsequent search of the database entries to identify a second entity associated with a trust score that is better than or equal to the desired trust score; and transmitting data to the user device for generating an alert indicating the second entity and an indication of the trust score associated with the second entity.
