Sharing custom searches created in Studio for InDesign and InCopy

Whenever you create a custom search in Studio for InDesign and InCopy and subsequently log out of Studio Server, the custom search is saved to Studio Server.

It is then possible for the system administrator to make this search available to other users or user groups so that they can make use of this search as well.

Tip: This is a good way of sharing custom searches made by power-users and/or to share types of searches that are often used such as a search for locating recently modified files.
