Defining Search Queries 
Search queries combine several selection criteria and simplify the process of finding documents. You save several search criteria in one template. You can use this template to avoid entering often-used individual search criteria on various tab pages.
The following types of search query exist:
Global query: A query that any user can allocate before searching for a document.
Personal query: A query that can only be allocated by the user that created the personal query.
Recent query: A query that is stored by the application every time the user executes the advanced search. The application stores a maximum of three recent queries, after which the first query is deleted and replaced by the second query.
