In Zendesk Support, you can search for data, such as ticket properties, user properties, comments, tags, help center articles, and so on by using the search tool located in the top toolbar. You can also perform an advanced search by using common search operators combined with data property keywords and values to narrow your results.

Both admins and agents can save search queries so that they can quickly access their most used searches. By saving your searches, you can save time by not having to rebuild complex queries.

You can create, access, and manage your saved searches from the Search page in Support.
