Integrated search engine devices include a content addressable memory
(CAM) core that is configured to support at least one database of
searchable entries therein and a control circuit. The control circuit is
configured to support reporting to a command host of data identifying
entries that have been aged out of the at least one database and/or
entries that have exceeded an activity-based aging threshold. The control
circuit is further configured to support age reporting that is
programmable on a per entry basis within the at least one database.
