To save a list of search results for future consultation:

  1. Select the Save button in the Search page.

    Save search button

    A dialog opens.

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

    Save search popup

  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, which allows users to decide whether to save the search as a list of results or as a Collection, is only displayed if two conditions are met:

  • The user has the COLLECTION_USER role;
  • An administrator has activated the Collections feature.

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.
