If you periodically search for titles by the same author, or on the same subject, you can save your search and re-run it by simply clicking the search name. That saves you time, especially if the search you’re doing is complex. Saved searches are always private.
To save a search
- Log in to your account. You must be logged in to save a search.
- Run your search.
See: Using Advanced Search and Writing Your Own Queries for information on creating complex searches. - If required, narrow your results by applying facets on the left side of the page. See Filtering Search Results for details.
- When you have refined your search, click the Save Search link above the search results.
- Give the saved search a name that will allow you to easily identify it later. If you already have a search by that name, you’ll have the option to choose a new name or overwrite your existing saved search.
- Click Save. A message will appear at the bottom of the screen to confirm that your search saved successfully.
You can edit your saved searches after you’ve saved them. See Using and Managing Saved Searches for details.
