# Manage saved searches

After [performing a search](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/search,-filter,-and-select.md "Search, filter, and select") or [applying filters](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/apply-preset-filters.html "Apply preset filters") on the **Assets** page, you can create a saved search based on the settings you used. This way, you can quickly regenerate the same search at a later time or share the saved search with other users. A saved search is dynamic; when you select it, results are regenerated.

A saved search can be:

- Private - these searches are only visible to the creator (and users and groups that the creator shares them with). By default, saved searches are private.
- Public - these searches are available to all users. They are identified by the **Public** :mdiEarth: icon.

> [!note]
> For existing saved searches, the following procedures can also be carried out from the **My searches** page. This page displays your saved searches and public saved searches. To access this page, on the menu bar, click **Profile and settings** :mdiAccountCircle: > :mdiMagnify: **My searches**.

## Create a saved search

To create a saved search:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. On the **Assets** page, [perform a search](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/search,-filter,-and-select.md "Search, filter, and select").
3. In the **Applied filters** pane, click **Save**.
4. In the dialog, fill out the following fields.

    | Field | Description |
    | --- | --- |
    | **Name** | Name of the saved search. |
    | **Share search with** | Click :mdiPlus: **Add users**, and then, in the **Add users** dialog, select users or groups to share the search with, and click **Add**. |

5. Click **Save**.

## Share a private search

You can share a private search with other users and groups so that they can see the saved search on the **Saved** tab on their **Assets** page.

To share a private search:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. Click the **Saved** tab.
3. In the **MY SEARCHES** section, next to the saved search you want to share, click **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: > **Edit**.
4. Click :mdiPlus: **Add users**.
5. In the **Add users** dialog, select users or groups to share the search with, click **Add**, and then click **Save**.

## Set a saved search as your default search result

If you set a saved search as your default, it is applied every time you access the **Assets** page. The default saved search is identified with a star icon :mdiStar:. Your default saved search overrides the system default saved search.

To set a saved search as your default search result:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. Click the **Saved** tab.
3. In the **MY SEARCHES** section, next to the saved search you want to set as default, click **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: > **Set as my default**.

## Make a saved search public

A saved search must be public for other Content Hub users to see it. A public saved search is identified with a **Public** :mdiEarth: icon.

To make a saved search public:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. Click the **Saved** tab.
3. In the **MY SEARCHES** section, next to the saved search you want to make public, click **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: > **Make public**.

To enable a public saved search:

1. On the main menu, click **Profile and settings** :mdiAccountCircle: > **My searches**.
2. Next to the public saved search you want to enable, turn on the **Enable** switch.

## Turn notifications on or off for a saved search

When you turn on [notifications](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/manage-your-notifications.html "Manage your notifications") for a saved search, you will receive a scheduled notification, no more than once per day, if the results of that search change.

To turn notifications on or off for a saved search:

1. On the menu bar, click **Assets**.
2. Click the **Saved** tab.
3. In the **MY SEARCHES** section, next to the saved search you are interested in, click **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: > **Turn on notifications** or **Turn off notifications**.
