Saving a Search

You can save the search criteria entered in the Quick Find bar or in the Find dialog box so that you can perform the same search again.

The criteria are saved but the results of the search are not. Searches are saved per user account, so your saved searches are accessible only to you. A saved search can only be opened in the Find dialog box.

A search folder is similar to a saved search. Each search folder is associated with a saved search. Search folders are listed in the navigation pane. When a search folder is selected, the saved search associated with it is automatically performed and the results are displayed in the main view. Search folders can be created from existing saved searches or directly from the Find dialog box.

When the results of a search folder are displayed in the main view, the Quick Find bar can be used to perform a search within the search results to further narrow the field. The combined search can then be saved, resulting in a saved search that consists of the search folder criteria AND the Quick Find criteria.
