Figure 7.1: The GenBank search view.

The search view can be saved either using dragging the search tab and and dropping it in the Navigation Area or by clicking Save (Image Save_Blue_16_n_p). When saving the search, only the parameters are saved - not the results of the search. This is useful if you have a special search that you perform from time to time.

Even if you don't save the search, the next time you open the search view, it will remember the parameters from the last time you did a search.
