Each run's results are checked before they go live; if a check fails, the site keeps the previous data. New cases are searchable as soon as they arrive; their issue tags follow once they're read.
This site keeps anonymous records of searches and clicks to improve its topics and search; nothing identifies you (no cookies, no IP addresses).
