However, once > you have set up a search that retrieves the results you want, can you > repeat that search the next time you login to Paper of Record? One of > the handy features built in to the collection is the ability to save > your searches. Once a search is saved, the next time you want to re-run > the search, you can simply choose it from a list of saved searches > rather than having to reset all of the criteria. > > To save a search, follow these steps: > > 1) Create a search by choosing a newspaper, start date and search > term. If you want to, enter any Advanced Search criteria. > > 2) Once your search criteria is set, click on the "Search" button > to perform the search. > > 3) When you are presented with a list of search results, you can > save the search right away by clicking on the "Save Search" button at > the bottom right of the list. > > You should look at the search results and/or modify your search before > you save it to be sure it is set up to retrieve the results you need. > > Once searches have been saved, you can return to those searches at any > time you are logged in. The searches can also be modified to include > descriptions (to help you remember why you did them in the first place!). > > To see your saved searches, follow these steps: > > 1) Login to Paper of Record (click on "Subscriptions" on the menu bar). > > 2) Choose "My Saved Searches" from the menu down the left side of > the page. > > 3) Any searches you have saved are listed with the search criteria > and search creation date displayed. You may edit the description of a > search by clicking on the name of the search in the "Description" column. > > To re-run a search, click on the "Run this saved search" button. > > When you save a search in Paper of Record, several criteria are also > saved. > > * Your search is saved at the location in the results being viewed > at the time of saving. For example, if you are on page 3 of 5 > pages of results and save your search, when you rerun the search, > you will start at page 3 of the results. Just where you left off! > * If you are viewing search results as Thumbnails, when the search > is re-run, you will see Thumbnails rather than a text list - just > as you used when you originally performed the search. > > Some other tidbits about saved searches: > > * If you re-run a search and then click on the "Save" button again > on your list of results to update the search, a NEW search will > actually be saved. > * There is no limit to the number of searches that can be saved, > however if you don't give descriptions to your searches, you might > forget why you did them in the first place! > * To delete a saved search, click on the "Delete" button beside the > search to be deleted. > > > Top 10 Newspapers Since September 1, 2003 > > 1.
