Saving searches in VS CTP release

If you have played with Help in CTP, you would have noticed that there Help Favorites has a node called “Searches”. However, it is not discoverable how to store a search. At least, Kevin was not able to find it.You can save a search by

1. Performing a search.
2. With Search window focused, click on "Add to Favorites button on the Web/Help toolbar. This is left of web url textbox. This will add your search to the Favorites.
3. You can now click on the stored search to re-execute a search.

We know that it is not discoverable and we will fix it soon by adding a “Save Search button (not in the next CTP though). This button will exist next to “Restore Defaults” and “Help Options” commands.

Thanks, Saurabh.

BTW, on the related topic of Help Favorites, will they be preserved when we upgrade between versions of the MSDN library?

Not yet, but making favorites work across multiple MSDN versions is also on our to-do list.
