Saving searches

After the criteria for an advanced search have been specified, they can be saved for later reuse. When you double-click a saved search, the search is executed immediately and the search results are shown. The advantages of saving a search are:

• You can reuse the search without having to respecify the search criteria.
• Other users can run the same search without having to respecify the search criteria.
