At least, that's what happened when I tried to follow suit.
Thank you,

@
delaing Yes that's it.
Now, I only use my FMT->Notepad++>Import List->Add Tag/Reading List process (
WDS Integration) if I want to do something to the metadata.
Example: if I did a search on my library for "Contingent Convertible" for the purposes of adding a 'Coco Bonds' tag then I would use that process.
But if I just want to read what Stiglizt and Krugman have had to say about 'underwater loans' then the search results list is adequate. Dropping it into the book list is merely a convenient means to ensure I won't lose it - once I've finished reading I delete it. I choose not to rely on Windows MRU lists because I frequently and indiscriminately purge most of them.
Also having the actual search results conveniently at hand facilitates using it in my
WDS Integration process, should I identify a need to do so.
My guess is that I will only put ~30% of the search result lists I create through my
WDS Integration process, the rest will get 'saved' into the library where I did the search.
NB A saved Windows search (like a saved calibre search) is not the actual list, but the search criteria. So if I add a Siglitz op-ed in which he mentions 'underwater loans' it will show up in the Underwater Loans Search 'book'. The difference is that the Windows search operates on the metadata and the text whereas a calibre search only operates on the metadata.
