TIP 206: Saving and Loading Searches


If you need to get really granular when you run a search, you can take advantage of GoLive's ability to run searches on the results of previous searches. Say you want to find a set of files that contain the word heartache and also contain the word backache. You can first search for heartache and then use the results from that search to run another search for backache.

Using Regular Expressions

If you would like to use wildcard searching, also known as regular expressions or regex, GoLive gives you a head start by offering a number of frequently used search patterns that you can select from the Find Text flyout menu under Saved Searches > Regular Expressions.


To save a search, you first run a Find operation and then choose Save Search from the Find window menu. GoLive will bring up the Save dialog box and points you to the TextSearch folder inside your GoLive that is several directories down in the GoLive settings folder. Name your search and save it into the TextSearch folder. To use a saved search, choose Load Search from the Find window menu. GoLive opens the TextSearch folder and allows you to choose from the saved searches.

To use the results of one search as the basis of another search, click the Use Results button in the results list. The results will automatically be loaded into the Search In input box in the Find Text window. You can remove items from the list before using the results if you'd like.

To save the results as a collection, click the Save Collection button (see Tip 210). A dialog labeled Create a New Collection will open displaying a descriptive name for the Collection. You can change the name if you'd like (Figure 206). As with the Use Results option, you can delete files from the results list before saving it as a collection if necessary.

Figure 206. You can save the results of a Find operation as a collection. See Tip 210 for more info.


Note

Remember that a collection can only be saved into one site. If you searched in multiple sites, you can still create the collection but can only save it into one site.
