# Saved & History
> Manage your saved search queries, toggle email alerts, and review your full search history.
**Saved & History** keeps your saved searches in one place and logs every search you run — even ones you did not save.
## At a glance
Open **Saved & History** from the main navigation. The page has two tabs:
* **Saved Searches** — queries you saved from the Search page, with alerts and quick actions
* **History** — an automatic log of every search you have run
## Saved Searches tab
### Saving a search
1. Run a search on the [Search](/features/search) page with your desired query, source, mode, and filters.
2. Click **Save Search** and give it a descriptive name.
3. Your saved search appears on the **Saved Searches** tab.
Use the **Saved** dropdown next to **Save Search** on the Search page to load a previously saved query without leaving Search.
### Reading a saved search card
Each card shows:
* **Name** — the title you gave the search
* **Source badge** — e.g., Federal, SLED, DIBBS
* **Query** — the keyword or phrase used
* **Filters** — any active filters (if set)
* **Mode** — Smart or Lexical
* **Last Run** — when the search was last executed
* **Created** — when the search was saved
* **Run Search** — re-run immediately

Editing takes you back to Search in **Edit Mode**:

2. You are taken to the Search page with your saved query pre-loaded.
3. An **Edit Mode** banner confirms you are editing: modify your search parameters above, then click **Update Saved Search** to save your changes.

To receive email notifications for a saved search, click the **bell icon** on its card.

Alerts are sent by **email only**. Check your account email and spam folder if you are not receiving them.
To disable alerts, click the bell again. The card shows a strikethrough bell and a confirmation when the search is updated.
Email alerts work with your [Company Profile](/features/business-profile). Complete your profile so alert emails include relevant context.
## History tab
The **History** tab is an automatic log of every search you have run in SamSearch, including searches you did not save.
Each history entry shows:
* Search query
* Source (Federal, SLED, DIBBS, etc.)
* Search mode (Smart or Lexical)
* Number of results returned
* Time the search was run
Use History to:
* Re-run a recent search you forgot to save
* Review what you have already searched
* Find a past search and save it from the Search page
History entries do not have alerts or edit options. To save a query from History, run it on the Search page and use **Save Search**.
## Finding a saved search
Use the **search bar** at the top of Saved & History to filter your list by name or query term.
Click **Filter** to narrow by source, mode, or date range.
