The search you just set up can be saved by doing one of the following:
- Choose Save As... from under the File menu, or
- Click on the tab of the search view and drag and drop it into a folder in the Navigation Area.
These actions save the search query. (It does not save the search results.)
This can be useful when you run the same searches periodically.
