Saved Searches allow you to create a pre-defined search page designed specifically to search for specific types of documents. Better yet, you can design saved search screen for specific users or departments within your organization.
By creating a saved search screen, you eliminate the need to start your search from a complicated search screen (advanced search screen) that tries to cover all possibilities. Instead, you can define just a few prompts, so the user can enter just enough information to get quick results.
As you define the search screen, you can also enter default values for the search criteria which will allow the user to (in most cases) simply click on "Search" to get the results.
Example:
Simply entering a search criteria for the "Look in" prompt, will narrow the search scope, helping the user achieve a much shorter list of documents to go through.
