Cheat Sheet: Saving, Retrieving, and Deleting a Search.
When to use
If you find yourself running the same searches on a regular basis, you can create a shortcut for yourself by saving that search. Naturally, you can always modify it and delete it altogether once you no longer need it.
Instructions
If you’re performing the same searches on a regular basis, you can save time by not having to type the same search terms over and over by saving specific searches.
When you want to save a search, run your search and then, go to: Edit > Find > Give your search a name > OK.
The process is slightly different for Windows users. In Windows, once you run a search, you will see a little magnifying glass with the option to save that search, so there’ll be fewer steps for you.
To modify a saved search, select it from the drop down menu, go Edit, and in the window that pops up, change the name of the search or the search criteria.
In the bottom left corner you will also see an option to delete your search.
