Saved Searches
You can save your searches so that you can quickly re-run them later without having to re-configure them. Searches are saved on a per-user basis, which means that a user will be able to access all searches that they saved, regardless of the computer they use to access the repository, but other users will not be able to access those searches.
You can also save searches as custom quick searches. See Quick Search for more information,
Tip: Saved searches are especially useful when working with advanced search syntax.
You can create save searches in two locations:
Tip: Administrators can create saved searches for the entire repository using trustee attributes, or can copy a saved search from one user to another. See Trustee Attributes in the Laserfiche Administration Guide for more information.
