The Search History page keeps track of your 10 most recent searches run during your current browser session. As you run searches on the site, your most recent search is added to the top of the list. If you exceed 10 searches during your browser session, your oldest search is removed from the Search History page.

When you run a duplicate search with the exact parameters as a search already listed on the Search History page, the older search is removed and the new search is added to the top of the list.

A feature of the Search History page is the option to combine searches to run a new query. You can select any number of searches on the Search History page and choose to combine them in a new search using the Boolean operators AND or OR. Previously combined searches may not be combined with other searches. The combined search will appear at the top of your Search History list once it has been run.

Each search listed on your Search History page shows the search parameters and the total number of results. The following options are provided for each search:

Edit Search – returns you to the Advanced Search page, populated with the original search parameters. Edit any of the search parameters to perform a new search, and the new search will appear at the top of your Search History list.
Add to Saved Searches – adds the search parameters to your Saved Searches page so you may rerun the search again at a later date against more recently published content. You must sign in with your individual user name and password to take advantage of this feature.
Delete – removes the search from the Search History page
Run Search – runs the search with the original search parameters. The original search is deleted from the Search History list and the rerun search appears at the top of the list.
Save as Alert – creates a SJO Search Alert using the original search parameters. If you specified a date range in your search, the range is removed when the alert is created, as all alerts apply to future published articles. You must sign in with your individual user name and password to take advantage of this feature.

If any of the options (Edit Search, Add to Saved Searches, or Save As Alert) are disabled for a search in your Search History, that option is not valid for the given search.
