Coalescence of spiraling binary neutron stars or black holes are among the most likely and, at the same time, the most interesting sources of gravitational waves detectable by the ground based interferometers. If detected, these signals would not only represent another triumph of general relativity that predicted them, but also are expected to provide invaluable information about the strong field regime of gravity and the astrophysical properties of such systems/objects. We present an overview of the searches for these signals in the data recorded by LIGO-Virgo network of ground based interferometers. We discuss the specifics and the challenges arising in the data analysis and highlight some of the most recent results. We conclude with the outlook in the future -- in the era of advanced ground based interferometers, in which the low latency searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence paired up with the rapid followup observations by optical, X-ray and radio telescopes become a reality and open the field of gravitational-wave, multi-messenger astronomy.
