About Search Designer

Your role as a search designer is to create, edit, and save pre-defined searches: stored searches and search templates. These searches provide one way for users to look for many kinds of documents. You can create a complete search (stored search) or a partially completed search (search template). When necessary, this documentation discriminates between the two kinds of searches. Otherwise, the term "search" refers to both kinds of searches.

Accessing searches

You can access searches in Workplace. You can browse to locate searches and identify them by their specific icons. Double-clicking on the search name runs the search and displays the results just like clicking on a folder name displays its documents.

Depending on how the searches were created, users can supply values or use the defaults you provided, before executing the search.
