Using Saved Queries and Filters in .NET Search Interfaces

Saved queries and filters are expressions that you can store so that you can quickly reapply them. This .NET search interface feature is useful when you find that you frequently perform the same large query and would like to avoid having to retype it each time.

The difference between saved queries and saved filters is that saved queries do not accept additional expressions whereas saved filters do.

Example: If you enter the Coveo AND Search query in the search box and you apply the saved query @sysauthor=John, your original Coveo AND Search query is replaced by @sysauthor=John. However, if @sysauthor=John is a saved filter, it is added to the query expression to form Coveo AND Search @sysauthor=John.

Note: The saved queries and filters feature is optional and must be enabled by your Coveo administrator for a specific .NET search interface (see Activating Search Interface Options With the .NET Interface Editor).

Important: Saved queries and filters are stored in your browser cookies and are therefore only available with this browser on this computer. They will be lost if you clear your browser cookie memory. Your Coveo administrator can however configure and enable a database to securely and centrally store saved queries and filters (see Deploying the .NET Search Interface URL Shortener Database).

Using a saved query or a saved filter in a .NET search interface

  1. In the upper-right corner of the search results page, below the Do more menu, locate and click the Select Saved Filter or Select Saved Query drop-down list.
