Unsaved Search History

Search History provides a way for you to view your 10 most-recent unsaved searches. You have the option of saving unsaved searches indefinitely, as long as the search results remain in the Search History drop-down list, and you can also export to a text file a report for the last 10 unsaved searches.

Note

After you have created 10 unsaved searches, the next unsaved search will replace the oldest unsaved search in the list, and the replaced search will not be recoverable.

View Unsaved Searches

Immediately after creating a search in a dataset, you will be able to view it even it you do not save it.
