Résumé : In order to enhance the IceCube's sensitivity to astrophysical objects, we have developed a dedicated search for neutrinos in coincidence with flares detected in various photon wavebands from blazars and high-energy binary systems. The analysis is based on a maximum likelihood method including the reconstructed position, the estimated energy and arrival time of IceCube events. After a short summary of the phenomenological arguments motivating this approach, we present results from data collected with 22 IceCube strings in 2007-2008. First results for the 40-string IceCube configuration during 2008-2009 will be presented at the conference. We also report on plans to use long light curves and extract from them a time variable probability density function.
