All About Search Queries
Saving Search Queries
With a MyHein account, users are able to save search queries. From the results page in any page in HeinOnline, select MyHein Search Queries from the drop-down menu provided above the results and select Save/Email.
Users are prompted to save the search query under an already used folder or choose a new folder.
Next, users will receive a confirmation note that the query has been saved, with an option to view the query in their MyHein account.
Users will then find their saved search query in their MyHein account. To return to the results of the saved search query, simply click on the hyperlink provided.
Email Alerts
Saved search queries will also set up email alerts and notify the user whenever documents that match the search terms have been added to HeinOnline.
For example, if a user has a search for "wrongful convictions" AND DNA saved within their MyHein, and HeinOnline subsequently adds material that matches this query, the user will be notified via email.
Here is an example of an email notification from HeinOnline.
Navigating the Interface
Within the MyHein interface, the Search Queries feature displays several options.
- View different organizational folders.
- Select search queries to email to a friend or colleague.
- View the saved search query. From here, users can:
- Open the link to view the query results.
- Add a note to the saved query.
- Delete the query.
- Move the query to a different folder.
- View the timestamp of when the query was saved and the folder it was saved into.
Once a user opens up a folder, they have the option to edit the name of the folder or delete it.
