A saved search enables you to store the search criteria of any search and then re-execute it at any time. Every time you re-execute the saved search the results set is updated to include any new records added to the Collections since you last ran the search. This is useful especially for more complex searches created in Advanced Searching. The saved search remains available for use at a later date and is only removed when you choose to delete it. Saved searches are retained even after you have logged out.
