+[h2]Saved Searches[/h2]
+
+In order to quickly find information, the 'saved search' widget may be used. This widget may be presented as a sidebar tool on your network page and possibly from your channel page. It is differentiated from the 'navigation bar' search tool in that it does not search the entire site, but only the subset of information available to your channel.
+
+Additionally the search terms you provide may activate a one-tme search or be saved in a list for re-use. Saving the search item also invokes the search in addition to adding it to the saved list (which is displayed below the search text entry box). Any item in the list may be discarded if it is no longer needed.
+
+The saved search widget will provide autocompletion of channels (the results are prefixed with '@'), and hashtags (prefixed with '#'). You do not need to enter these tags; although entering the desired tag will reduce the autocomplete results to only hold the relevant information. The behaviour maps as follows:
+
+[ul]
+
+[li]@name - search your network stream for posts or comments written by 'name'. This will also change the post editor permissions to include only 'name'; as if it was a privacy group.[/li]
+
+[li]#hashtag - search you network stream for posts containing #hashtag.[/li]
+
+[li]text - search your network stream for posts containing 'text'.[/li]
