1. A method of identifying patterns in debt securities by debt security characteristics in response to search criteria, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one network accessible program server having a query engine, data storage and stored algorithms wherein in response to an initial input to the program server; i) the program server initiates at least one query to locate select user selected debt security identifiers and rate data for at least two select debt securities from at least one networked security rate server; ii) the program server initiates a query to at least one networked meta data servers to obtain meta data associated with the two select debt securities; iii) the program server utilizes the stored algorithms to correlate the debt securities meta data with the debt securities identifiers and associated rates data to create a searchable database on the program server of debt securities characteristics that is searchable by debt securities characteristics; iv) the program server queries the database of debt securities characteristics to search for at least one user selected debt security characteristic to identify debt securities having the at least one characteristics responsive to the query; and v) the program server generates at least one report identifying debt securities having similar patterns based on the at least one specified debt security characteristic.
