Thread: Editing a query

    Editing a query

    Is there any way to edit an advanced search result saved as a browser bookmark?

    For example, if I set up a search result with keywords, date range, titles, categories and sort order, how can I edit it after saving and reloading the page as a bookmark?

    As an example, I set up a search and start plowing through the results. I decide to call it a day, and save the current search result page as a bookmark. The next time I reload the bookmark and continue. This works quite well. Then I decide to change my criteria slightly from now on. I can change the keywords easily, but the other criteria are more of a challenge.

    I know I could edit the URL, but that's messy and potentially risky.

    Hi Andrew,

    The simplest way to do this is to use the 'refine search' link that appears next to the total number of results. Clicking on this link will take you to the advanced search page, with all the selections you've already made already selected, and the keywords in the search box.
