Saved Searches

Saved Search allows you to save and refer back to search queries you use regularly. Saved Search will save keywords, Boolean Search, and filters in a search, allowing you to run that search again without requiring you to type the search details.

Saved Searches can also be used to populate Alert Digests, Dashboard widgets, Trend Reports, and Key Message Reports. They are particularly helpful when trying to track specific subsets of coverage, such as key messages. The benefit of a Saved Search is that it allows you to filter content and data while remaining dynamic and updating in real-time as items appear within the Muck Rack database.

From any search results page, select the Save icon in the Search bar or the "Save Search" button on the action bar just above the results.

Once your search has been saved, a success message will appear where you can name your Saved Search and choose whether you would like to use your new Saved Search to create an Alert Digest (Monitor), as a data source in a Dashboard (Analyze), or both (Monitor and Analyze):
