Linking to Unified Searches
When you use unified search, the search parameters are appended to the URL of the results page. You can use this feature to share a link to your search with your teammates or to save a commonly run search as a bookmark.
Sharing and Saving Search Links
- At the top of the screen, click the Search tab.
- Run a search and apply filter criteria, as desired.
- To share the link, copy the URL in the browser address bar and send it to the desired recipients.
- To save the link, add a bookmark in your browser to the search results page.
