After saving a search you can choose to share your search in a shared folder or create a subfolder in your private folder where you can store similar searches.

How

To see you saved searches, click ‘My Tools’ in the top bar from any page and select ‘Saved Searches’.

On the Saved Searches page you can find three different folders:

Private: The searches in this folder are only visible to you. To share the search, tick the box in front of it and click ‘Rerun’. Save the search as you did before, selecting Shared instead of Private.
Shared: The searches in this folder will be shared with everyone within the specified IP range for your institution.
MLM: This folder contains a list with 409 search strategies, which are published by EMAs Medical Literature Monitoring (MLM) service, monitoring 309 generic drugs and 100 herbals.

Work with your saved searches

Select one of the folders to see the searches it contains. To work with a search, tick the box in front of it and choose from the following options:

Edit (disabled for MLM): Edit the search itself
Rerun: Rerun the search
Delete (disabled for MLM): Delete the search
View Details (disabled for MLM): View details about the search (i.e. the source, the search query itself and the mapped term)
Set Email Alert: Set an email alert for the search
Set RSS Feed: Set an RSS feed for the search

Please note:

Naming your search is optional and can only be done when saving the search. Names are limited to 75 characters and any character (e.g. hyphen, space, uppercase) may be used in the name.
To rename your search, rerun it, save it again, name it and delete your previously saved search.

Add, rename or delete subfolders

As long as no sub-folders have been created yet, the Private Folder and the Shared Folder only contain one folder, respectively with your name and with your organization's name. To create a sub-folder, click 'New' under Folder Option.

A few notes:

You can add as many sub-folders as you like, organized in a hierarchy with up to 5 levels.
Searches may be saved in any folder. Each folder must have a name, while the description is optional.
Folders that are saved under the Shared Folder are visible within your organization; however, only you can edit and/or modify the searches you have saved in a Shared Folder.
To move a search to one of your subfolders, rerun the search and save it to the subfolder. Then delete the search from the folder it was previously in.
Only you (the originator of the search) can edit or make changes to the search.
