Every AI deep search you run is saved automatically. It lands in a list in the left sidebar, under the Candidates section. There is no separate save step — run a deep search and it is there. From the list you can re-open a past search, rename it, or delete it.
What a saved search holds
A saved search is the query, not a frozen list of people.
When you open a saved search, Chosen shows you the results from when that search last ran. To get a current answer, you run the query again — and a fresh run scores against whoever is in your candidate pool now. New candidates who match will show up; candidates who no longer fit may drop. The query is the durable thing; the result set is whatever the most recent run produced.
That is the point of a saved search. It is the "people I should re-check every Monday" tool — the query stays the same, the answer moves as your pool changes.
Re-open a saved search
- Find the search in the sidebar list under Candidates. It is titled by Chosen's reading of your query, or by whatever you renamed it to.
- Click it. The results from that search's last run load into the table.
To get a fresh answer, run the same query again from the query bar in AI mode. The new run scores your current candidate pool and saves as its own entry.
Rename a saved search
Chosen titles each search from its query, which is fine until you have a dozen of them. A clear name helps.
- Hover the search in the sidebar list and open its menu — the three-dot button on the right.
- Choose Rename, type a name, and press Enter.
Delete a saved search
- Open the same three-dot menu on the search.
- Choose Delete and confirm.
Limits
The sidebar shows your recent searches, not an unbounded archive — old ones age out of the list over time. A saved search re-runs against candidates already in Chosen; it does not reach the open web. For more on what each search mode does, see smart, boolean, and deep search.
