We present the search for and classification of hard X-ray and soft γ-ray transient events in the archive of continuous (waiting-mode) Konus- Wind observations. We found ∼ 26 000 transient events; among them, ∼ 12 000 are solar flares ( ∼ 10 times as much as observed in triggered mode); and ∼ 5 000 are gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) or soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) confirmed by other space missions ( ∼ 2 times as much as detected in triggered mode). The remaining ∼ 9 000 events include Galactic transients, unconfirmed GRBs and possible solar flares. We discuss the application of developed techniques for GRBs accompanied by supernovae, high-energy neutrinos and sources of gravitational waves.
