Saving and Managing Search Queries
If you are working with Primo VE and not Primo, see Saving and Managing Search Queries in Primo VE.
Primo 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.
Email alerts are sent weekly for Primo. The day on which the report is sent is based on the creation date of the saved search (see Configuring Alerts).

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.
During a session, searches performed prior to sign-in are not retained after sign-in. After sign-in, Search History will include searches from previous sessions and new searches performed after sign-in.
