I have a large library and I often use complex searches to find what I want.
(tag A, and tag B, but not tag C, etc.)
Most of these take some time to construct, and it would be nice if I could save the ones I use often for quick access in the future.
I know that the search box drop-down list does this in a limited way, but it doesn't fill my needs: what searches are remembered seems to be somewhat arbitrary and not based on usage. Besides, if I start browsing my library by author or series, the old searches are soon lost.
Or, I could simply do the search, select all the results, and apply a tag. But that's still rather clumsy, since I then have to remember to apply that tag to all qualifying new entries, and that could quickly get confusing.

So, a way to save searches would be great.

Sincerely,
BookwormDragon
