Hi All

After an HDD failure I decided it was time for a new PC.
I've now reinstalled Calibre and, as I'd backed up my Calibre libraries to a flash drive, I was able to import all of my books without any problems - so far so good.

On my old PC I had a lot (say about 20) Editor saved searches. Some of these searches took quite a lot of time and effort to write so I would like to recover them if possible. I hadn't exported them so unfortunately there wasn't a back up.

I can see all of the files on my old C: drive from a command prompt. I've looked in AppData and Program Files but can't see anything that might be my searches. Are the saved searches in there somewhere? Can I get them back?

Thanks - Moldy
