To save a list of search results for future consultation:

  1. Select the Save button in the Search page.

    A search results page. To the right of the search bar, there are icons for 'Copy link' and 'Save', with the 'Save' icon highlighted.

    A dialog opens.

  2. Select Save as a search or Save as a collection (this option creates a swift collection).

    The 'Save current search' panel. Below, there are options to save as a 'search' or 'a collection'. A summary section shows search metadata. Below, there is a field labeled 'Enter a name'. Next, there is a field labeled 'Add a description'. Further below, there is a section labeled 'Choose a color'. At the bottom, there is a checkbox to 'Activate alert' with the option to 'Receive weekly e-mails if content matching search criteria is added or changed'. Finally, there are two buttons: 'Cancel' on the left and 'Save' on the right.

  3. Select the Save button to add the search or collection to the user's My Library assets.

The Save as section of the popup appears only if the user has the COLLECTION_USER role. This section lets users choose to save the search as a list or a Collection.

Saving a search as a Collection adds all the content in the list of search results to that Collection. The only way to modify the documents in a search saved as a Collection is to delete the Collection and create a new one.

For users who have access to Offline mode, saving a search as a collection means that all content in the list of search results can be made available for offline reading by simply synchronizing the collection. If there are many documents in the list of search results, it may take a while to synchronize the collection for offline reading.
