Possible to save Find Files filters?

[bobfleming]

I often use the Find Files operations with varying parameters. These are often complex combinations that tend to be repeated. So what of course happens is that I do:

1. Ctrl-F to enter the Find Files dialog
2. Set my criteria for search 1
3. Execute search 1
4. Set my criteria for search 2
5. Execute search 2
6. <Time goes by>
7. Set my criteria for search 1
8. Execute search 1

In other words, each search, even if it's one I've carried out before, means me manually setting all the filters over again. Very inefficient and error prone.

I'm wondering if there is a way to save and recall sets of filters. Maybe via a history, or saved search function?

Code: Select all

help "idh_searchtemplates.htm";

execute it after pasting it into the address bar...
