Just how does one tell that you are close to finding something like alien life?  It seems like you have either found it or not.  It is not something that is being built up to or anything, where we only need one more piece of the puzzle.

We used to have ONE non-solar planet. Now we have thousands. Those in the Goldilocks zone for that star will be examined closely. If life is ubiquitous we might see signs of chlorophyllhyll or something. 

The more planets available for study the better our chances, but it's not a certainty yet. We MIGHT BE the only planet with life, which seems to me to be more unlikely than finding it on another planet.
