The present invention discloses a portal capable of gathering and correlating data spread from multiple databases in multiple relevant but disparate information data sets, and an associated method. In some embodiments, the portal can relatively easy generate a new data set including a body of relevant but disparate information to be viewed through the prism of an individual's life. For example, by intuitively generating text-based and photo / video-based information of interest to the user measured by, for example, (i) periods of time (e.g., between the user's birth date and a milestone birthday, a wedding date, or an anniversary); (ii) geographic places (e.g., the user's hometown, the place he or she went to college, favorite vacation spots); and / or (iii) interests (e.g., favorite sports teams, foods, hobbies, etc.), as well as other variables that can be built into the search engine and database and / or provided by at least one user.
