Configuration notes

Below are the important points when creating saved searches:

  • Plugin saved searches cannot be deleted from the UI (No trash can icon displays).

  • All saved searches have an ID (hidden) and a label (shown in drop-down list).

  • All saved searches must have unique IDs and labels. My Searches have unique, generated ”guid-like” IDs. Plugin saved search (Searches) IDs are defined by the plugin creator.

  • Plugin saved searches override my searches. When you have both a plugin and a my search with the same label, my search is not shown.

  • Characters <, >, /, &, " and ' are forbidden in plugin saved search IDs as they are significant characters in XML and/or HTML.

  • There is a hard limit of five criteria for each saved search. Extra criteria are simply dropped with a log warning.

  • Duplicate plugin labels are detected and rejected with a logged warning.

  • Plugin saved search labels are not case sensitive. Labels that are identical except for capitalization will be considered duplicates, and will be skipped and logged with warnings.

  • Label clashes between my searches and plugin saved searches are prevented. You cannot create a saved search with a label that already exists among plugin saved searches. On the contrary, you can create a plugin saved search with a label that already exists among my searches.

  • Saved searches are ordered alphabetically.
