Surveys for intracluster planetary nebulae and red giants have been performed in a variety of cluster environments, from the well-mixed regions of the Virgo and Fornax Clusters, to the low-density areas of the M81 Group. When coupled with the results of Abell Cluster surface photometry and intracluster supernova detections, these surveys provide clues to the systematics of the intracluster light phenomenon. We analyze the results of the intracluster surveys performed to date and show how the fraction of intracluster stars depends on parameters such as cluster richness and rate of galaxy interaction. We also compare our results to numerical predictions and discuss avenues for future research.
