Search Saved Searches

Search_Saved_Searches returns saved search records that teams use to persist search criteria and monitor result changes over time.

When To Use

Typical questions this tool answers well:

• Which saved searches already exist for this workspace or user?

• What criteria, filters, and cadence are configured for a specific saved search?

• Which saved searches belong to one owner or were created by a specific user?

• Which saved searches match a topic or phrase in their saved query content?

• What is the search_persistence_id or result URL I need for related saved-search workflows?

Required Reading

1. Search_Query_Guide: Required before setting free-text query strings when search_mode is used.

Usage Patterns

Pattern A: List saved searches with default keyword behavior. Tool: Search_Saved_Searches

{
  "query": "",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 10
}

Pattern B: Exact lookup by saved-search name. Tool: Search_Saved_Searches

{
  "query": "\"pipeline monitor\"",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 10
}

Pattern C: Fetch only saved searches owned by specific users. Tool: Search_Saved_Searches

{
  "query": "",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "owner_ids": [
    "<OWNER_USER_ID_1>",
    "<OWNER_USER_ID_2>"
  ],
  "owner_ids_operator": "in",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 25
}

Pattern D: Exclude saved searches created by a service account. Tool: Search_Saved_Searches

{
  "query": "",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "fields_to_return": [
    "govtribe_id"
  ],
  "creator_ids": [
    "<CREATOR_USER_ID>"
  ],
  "creator_ids_operator": "not_in",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 25
}

Pattern E: Metadata-only response to get count and reusable result identifier. Tool: Search_Saved_Searches

{
  "query": "opportunity alerts",
  "search_mode": "keyword",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 0
}

Then rerun with the same filters and per_page > 0 to fetch row payloads.
