Saved Searches and Alerts
Creating saved searches and search alerts
The "Save Search" feature enables you to save searches and create alerts for your searches. You must be logged in with a CABI Digital Library user account in order to save searches and create alerts.
You will see the Save Search icon both on Search Results screen and on the Recent Searches screen
Click on the icon and you will be presented with a pop-up box:
Here you can give your search a name and select the frequency of alerts for that specific search. Now click ‘Save Search’.
Your search has now been saved and an alert created, based on the frequency selected. Select "Never" if you simply wish to save your search without creating an automatic alert.
If you have created a search alert you will receive notifications via email alerting you to the addition of new records matching your search criteria, according to the frequency you have selected.
Viewing saved searches
In the Saved Searches you can save up to 100 searches and also combine your saved searches using the Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT.
New searches that you save after the 100 search limit will overwrite the oldest existing saved search. You can remove saved searches to free up space for new saved searches by clicking the bin icon.
There are 3 ways to see your Saved Searches:
Via the Advanced Search
Via Saved Searches in your Account
Via ‘My Searches’ on the search results page
Here you can find your saved searches.
