How To Use The Save Search Feature In Disco

Amongst many other benefits, DISCO is your one-stop platform for all your licensed content needs. DISCO is the Amazon.com for licensed content.

The platform has multiple features, tools and search technologies to streamline editorial processes where the use of licensed content is concerned.

And once you easily become a savvy searcher, many of the searches you build may require what appear to be complex Boolean Expressions, combined with multiple filters in order to yield relevant and accurate results.

Therefore, one of the most useful platform features is the ‘Saved Search’ tool, which is guaranteed to save you (and your team) time, by instantly loading a search, meaning you get to the content you need, quickly.

Because let’s face it, you don’t want to have to remember complex Boolean Expressions, combined with multiple filters each time you are looking for fresh content on a topic you are tracking. And neither do you want to spend the time building these complex searches regularly.
