Data collected in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron are searched
for indications of new electroweak scale physics. Rather than focusing on
particular new physics scenarios, CDF data are analyzed for discrepancies
with respect to the standard model prediction. A model-independent
approach (VISTA) considers the gross features of the data, and is
sensitive to new large cross section physics. A quasi-model-independent
approach (SLEUTH) searches for a significant excess of events with
large summed transverse momentum, and is particularly sensitive to new
electroweak scale physics that appears predominantly in one final state.
This global search for new physics in over three hundred exclusive final
states in 927 pb-1 of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV reveals
no such significant indication of physics beyond the standard model.
