Saving a search

Related topics

When you save a search, you save all the search criteria under a single name. This allows you to repeat the search quickly, by submitting the saved search name rather than re-entering the criteria manually.

You must be logged on to Oracle Portal to save a search.

To save a search:

  1. Perform a basic search or an advanced search.

  2. On the Search Results page, click Save Search in the upper-right corner.

    Note: Public users do not see this link.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name under which to save your search criteria.

  4. Click Save.

    The next time you log on, you will see the name you assigned to this search in the Saved Search portlet. To re-submit the search, click on the search name.

    Note: If you cannot see the Saved Searches portlet, you must either customize the page to add it, or if you do not have the privileges to customize the page, ask your portal administrator to add it for you.
