  • To view a Favorite search from the SOLIDWORKS PDM Search tool, enable Search > Run Search Favorite on Load, click Tools > Favorite Searches and select the Favorite search.

    The Search tool opens with the Favorite you selected active.

    To change Favorite searches in the Search tool, expand the Favorites list in the left pane and choose a different Favorite.

  • To view Favorite searches for files and folders using an embedded search, expand the Open Search flyout (SOLIDWORKS PDM menu bar), select Run Search Favorite on Load and select the Favorite search.

    The Favorite search you select is opened in the search results pane.

    To change Favorite searches, expand the Favorite Searches flyout (SOLIDWORKS PDM menu bar) and select the Favorite search to use.

    When Run Search Favorite on Load option is not selected, you can view the Search Favorite results by selecting the Favorite Search and clicking Start Search .
Favorite searches for users and items are available only from the SOLIDWORKS PDM Search tool.
