Rather than actively searching for documents using queries,  alerts allow you to receive information about documents via email. Once you define a query and a frequency, you regularly receive information about new and modified documents that refer to your query. For instance, the screenshot below illustrates an email alert on the keyword Nice.

  

Each document is composed of three pieces of information : the document title, where to find it, and when it has been created or modified.
