Saving Search Queries and Alerts

Search queries are the combination of words you use when conducting a search in Primo Search. These queries can be saved so that you may run them again at a later date.

To save search queries, you will have to LOG IN at the top right of the screen. When you have logged in, “Save query” will appear at the bottom of the left hand column.

Tip! To save these search queries after you finish your session you will have to LOG IN.

• To return to a saved query, click on My Basket or My Library Record and choose the Search History tab.

• Clicking on the Query name will retrieve the results for that search.

Tip! You can activate an alert process for a saved query that will run your query automatically at scheduled times and email you the results. Choosing to save a query as an alert is an option presented after clicking on the "Save Query" link.
