Search is executed over the names of the queries as well as fields contained in the query. As shown in Figure 2.3, we see results sorted by relevance. Both standard and custom queries are displayed. Further, we may choose to mark one or a few queries and add them to our favorites or tag them with any keywords (see respective buttons in bottom-right corner in Figure 2.3).
