What's interesting is that we can search and find stuff in that direction. Previously searches only looked outward away from the sun but theoretical earth grazing asteroids that spend most of their time less than 1 AU from the sun would not be picked up.

There have even been suggestions to send an asteroid searching telescope satellite to some lower orbit around the sun and use that vantage point to look outward towards earth and find anything there. Personally I still think we should do that too.
