Overview
You can protect or block a search to prevent any user in your domain from modifying it. This is useful when, for example, you create a particularly complex search and you don't want to risk accidentally modifying it.
What permissions do I need?
To block searches, you don’t need any other permission apart from that required to run searches, at least the View level of the Finders permission (visit Run a search using a finder to know more).
