+### Saved Searches
+
+Both the **Files** and **Search** pages support **saved searches** — named filter presets you can create and reuse:
+
+1. Apply your desired filters (and optionally a search query on the Search page)
+2. Click **Save Current** in the saved searches bar
+3. Enter a name for the saved search
+4. Your saved search appears as a clickable tag — click it to instantly re-apply those filters
+5. Click the **×** button next to a saved search to delete it
+
+On the **Search** page, saved searches store the full-text query (`q`) along with all active content-finding filters. On the **Files** page, saved searches store the file management filters (filename search, MIME type, status, etc.).
 
 The search page is also accessible via URL with a pre-filled query: `/search?q=invoice`
