Primo VE allows signed-in users to save searches between sessions and receive email alerts when there is an update to the saved search query. After a query has been saved, the My Favorites > Saved Searches page allows users to perform the following operations on saved searches: view, delete, create an RSS feed, and set/clear an alert.

My Favorites - Saved Searches Tab

Email alerts are sent weekly for Primo VE. The Saved Searches Alerts job runs every Friday at 11 p.m. (see Viewing Scheduled Jobs).

Saving a Query from Search History

For guests or users that are not signed in, search history is tracked per session and is not saved between sessions in Search History. For signed-in users, Primo/VE stores the last 100 searches in Search History and allows these queries to be copied to Saved Searches. Although the same search can appear in Search History more than once, you will not be able add the same search to Saved Searches more than once.
