Deleting Saved Search Restrictions

Rellwood · 09-03-2021, 12:54 AM

How do I delete saved searches? Or the search restrictions?

I have a lot of outdated ones that I want to delete. I checked under search in Preferences, I checked in the Virtual Library tabs, I can't seem to find a way to clear out saved searches.

I did opt to delete the saved searches in Preferences in Search, but it didn't delete anything, so I am guessing that it was for something else

Either in the Tag Browser, right click a saved search and select Delete, or in Saved Searches (right end of search bar)->Manage Saved Searches.

I suspect you mean you Cleared search history in Preferences->Searching - different kettle of fish entirely.

Thanks! - I was able to find it. I keep forgetting about those catagories.

I was actually attempting to edit the .json for the library. I basically changed the #dateadded to #orig_dateadded and needed to updated the restrictions. It seems that it was not updating. Fixed it in the catagories though.

Also, yes, it was the search history I cleared in Preferences.
