Gravitational waves (GWs) have opened an unprecedented era for astronomy, cosmology, and fundamental physics, offering a novel observational window into the universe. The full scientific impact of GWs depends on the rapid and accurate identification of numerous GW transients, providing event timings and localization information for coordinated multi-messenger observations. Hence, this talk will briefly discuss a highly successful state-of-the-art search method for compact binary coalescences (CBCs), highlighting the potential limitations of current approaches, particularly with eccentric and sub-solar mass binaries as examples. Advancing GW search algorithms, especially in low latency with current and future detectors, requires addressing complex computational and theoretical challenges. We are working to expand and refine search techniques to capture unique classes of CBCs that current methods may miss, thereby enriching our understanding of the universe. Finally, We will outline our plan for advancing search strategies for the upcoming and next-generational GW observatories to leverage multi-messenger information to track cosmic history through compact binary mergers.
