How to access shared search in Lotus Notes

Other's will only be able to see your saved searches if you have Designer access or higher to the database and you checked the "Share this search with other users" property when you created the Saved Search (this property will be grayed out if you do not have Designer or higher access to the database).

I do have designer access to the database and I checked the shared box.  So what do I do for others to see that search?

Thank you

You don't need to do anything, but if the user is using a replica copy that has not been indexed, he/she may not see the searches.

if it is a customized search form, then save the document in the Search view and users can make use of it.

They need to expand the search bar (clikc on MORE).  A whole bunchof UI widgets will open up, including a button labeled "LOAD SEARCH"

Your search should appear when they click that button, same as it does for you.

The only option I get is Delete Search?  

when I click Save Search and check the box to share with others, where exactly is it saving that search too?  Is there another setting on the Domino server end I may be missing?

Thank you

madheeswar:  I've never heard of that technique.  Where is it documented?

Ahhh.  The "Include in Search Builder" setting.  I thought she was talking about something entirely new since she said "save the document in the Search view", not "Enable the 'Include in Search Builder' setting".   I'm still not sure what she meant by that!

Bill -- her = Madheeswar or cas_three? Keeping genders straight -- madheeswar was talking about search builder, cas_three had asked about saved searches, and the two of them were miscommunicating.  You were answering the question correctly.

All mailboxes are opened from the server, not local copies, so I'm not quite sure why the searches are not showing up under saved searches.

I'll give it some more tries.
