RELATED IDEAS

Persist Search edit and re-run w/o making it a favorite.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When performing a Remote z/OS File Search one has to enter selection criteria into the 'Search string' (and possibly make other setting changes) before hitting <Enter> to start the search. The Remote z/OS Search view is opened upon the completion of the search and shows the resulting matches, if any.

If a user wants to run another search with slightly different criteria, they are forced to re-enter that information and perform the search, which can waste time.

We would like to have the ability to have the search criteria and settings persist for any subsequent searches. This way, if a new right-click option in the results area of the Remote z/OS Search view allowed for an 'Edit and Run' option, it could expedite the subsequent searches by preventing the user from having to supply the information all over again.

The 'Edit and Run' feature is currently available for searches that have been saved in 'My Favorites' in the Remote Systems view. One could save the search as a favorite, but many times the current search being done is not 'worthy' of being a favorite; it's just a current search that has to be run a few different ways in order to find what one is looking for.
