Saving search results
After you submit a search, you can save the results. The search results are saved for one week and
then deleted. The Web Interface also contains a button for manually deleting saved search results. It
is possible that items in saved search results might be deleted from the IAP before the week is over if
their retention period has expired. See “Unable to display saved results” on page 47.
The one week period does not apply to search results that are placed in a legal hold. See “Using
quarantine repositories” on page 37 for more information.
