Working in the search history

You can perform the following operations in the Search history area (click to expand and see the details):

There are different ways to filter the search history list:

Top icons	Select the icons at the top to show only blocked searches, searches added to your aliased finder, or favorite searches.
User vs Account	Click the tabs at the top to show only those searches accessed by you (User searches) or those accessed in the domain (Domain searches).
Time buttons	Use the time buttons at the top to filter the searches accessed within a specific time period up to that moment; from the last hour to the last year.
Search box	You can also type in text in the search box and select Filter. The table will only display those searches containing the string you entered in their alias, table name or user who defined the search. Click Clear filter to show all the favorite searches again.
Tags	Add tags to the searches to easily filter them on the list. Add tags → Hover over the desired search row, select the ellipsis icon that appears at the end of it and select New tag. Alternatively, you can simply click under the Tags column. An extra row appears below for you to manage the tags for that search. Click the Add tag field, type in a keyword and click the + icon. Filter by tag → The existing tags appear above the table, in the Tags section. Click one to activate it and filter the table accordingly. You can select several tags to display only those searches tagged with all of them. Alternatively, you can make the extra row appear and click one of the tags applied to that search to activate it as a filter for the whole table. Tags created here are also shown in the tags section of the favorite searches for you to use them as filters.

You can combine different criteria to narrow the results of your filter. For example, you can filter those recent searches that are added to the aliased finder, have been accessed during the last day, are tagged with "demo" and whose alias contains a search criteria.

You can open a search to check its data by clicking on the name. If you want to open the full search with all the operations performed, click on the name under the Alias column. If you want to open the original table click on the name under the Table name column.

Select the heart icon in the required search row to add the search to your favorite searches. Click the icon again to remove the search from your favorite searches. See Favorite searches to learn more.

Select the magnifying glass icon in the required search row to add the search to your aliased finder. Click the icon again to remove the search from the aliased finder. See Use the aliased finder to learn more.

You can copy a query to use it somewhere else. Hover over the name under the Alias column, click the icon that appears next to it and a dialog with the full query will show. Click the copy button on the right side and a pop-up message will confirm it.

Your vs others' searches

Some of these tasks can be performed only on your own searches because they imply a change in the status of the search. It is the case of those tasks related to blocking, the aliased finder, favorites and tags.

The rest of the tasks are meant for information check and can be performed on any search regardless of the person who originally run it. It is the case of filtering, opening and copying.
