Forward Search Settings

A Forward Search alerts you whenever a news wire appears that matches certain search criteria. This is useful if you are following a Story and want to be notified of new developments as soon as they come in.

To create a Forward Search select File Menu > Options > Forward Search Settings.

The Saved Forward Searches list contains a list of your current Forward Searches. You can delete a Forward Search by clicking the icon next to the search name.

If you are a Group Manager, you can also create Group Forward Searches that are shared with all users in the program group.

Enter a text description for the search in the Description box. To add a search term, click the Add Search Term button. If you are following an election, for example, you could enter the candidate's name as a search term.

You can select wires from a particular provider, category, priority or selector code from your wire provider.

Select whether you want the Forward Search to appear as a category in the Wire Viewer and select whether you want incoming Forward Search hits to appear in the Alert Bar.
