Help for Saved Searches:
- What is a saved search?
-
This feature allows you to save searches that you create on the Advanced Search page. In addition to the
ability to re-run your searches while you are logged in, this feature
allows you to have new resources that match your searches emailed to you
on a frequency basis you specify, with a max of once a day. For example,
if you want to receive an email that gives you all new resources on
"food allergies," you could receive a weekly email telling you of new
resources on "food allergies" added to the portal database. To see how
to use the Saved Search feature, see the following help topics.
- How do I create a saved search?
-
To create a saved search, click Advanced Search on the navigation bar.
Towards the bottom of the Advanced Search screen, you will see a button
labeled "Save" directly next to the "Search" button. Once you have
entered a search that you wish to save, click this button. This will
take you to a page on which you may name your new search and choose how
often, if ever, to receive emails with resources matching your search.
Once these details are to your liking, click "Continue" at the bottom of
the page. Your search is now saved. You can re-run your search by going
back to the Advanced Search page and
selecting your search from the bottom of the page.
- How do I modify my saved searches?
-
Begin by clicking the Manage Your
Searches link at the bottom of the Advanced Search page. This will load a
page containing information about all of your saved searches. Clicking
the "Edit" button next to a search will load a page where you can modify
the details of your saved search. Click the "Save" button when you are
satisfied with your modifications.
- How do I delete a saved search?
-
Begin by clicking the Manage Your
Searches link at the bottom of the Advanced Search page. Clicking the
"Delete" button next to any off your searches will delete the adjacent
search.
- Why can’t I get emails about my saved searches?
-
Administrators have the option of disabling this feature. If no
"Email Me" option is available when you save a new search or manage your searches, contact the system administrator
for more information.
- Why do I keep getting emails about new resources?
-
You probably have a saved search sending you an email listing new
resources. To disable, click the Manage Your Searches link at the
bottom of the Advanced Search page.
Then click on the saved search that you are getting emails for, then
select "Never" from the dropdown menu to stop receiving emails about
that search.
