Export and Recreate Your USearch Saved Records and Searches

On December 9, 2024, the library updated our USearch system. Unfortunately, "My Favorites" settings, including saved records and saved searches, do not automatically migrate to the new version of USearch.

The old version of USearch was retired on January 13, 2025. If you didn't export your saved records and saved searches from the old version before it was retired, contact the library, and we can retrieve the details of your old saved records and saved searches. You can then use this information to manually recreate your saved records and searches in the new USearch interface.

Recreate your saved records and saved searches in new USearch 

Unfortunately, there is no option to batch import your downloaded saved records and searches into the updated version of USearch. In order to recreate your saved items you will need to sign in to USearch and then follow these steps: 

Saving records


  1. Search for your saved items one at a time and select the pin icon to save to your new Favourites list.


    You can save multiple items from your search results list by selecting multiple records using the check boxes to the left of the item records and then selecting the pushpin icon at the top of the list to save all selected records to your favourites.

     
  2. To see your saved items, select the pushpin icon in the top right corner of your screen to go to your favourites.

 

Saving searches


  1. Copy your saved search terms and parameters into USearch to recreate your saved search. You can use the facets on the left-side of your screen to narrow down your search results. Once you have created the search query you want to save, select the Save query link with the pushpin icon at the top of your search results list.

     
  2. To see your saved items, select the pushpin icon in the top right corner of your screen to go to your favourites.
