Nesting "smart list" (saved searches)

xavi.marsellach · November 28, 2019

Could you consider the option to nest inside folders a saved search? This would allow to have a tidiest library.

Thanks

This is a common feature request, and it's generally planned, but no ETA.

Thanks for your answer. I would like to switch to otero but this feature is a MUST for my pipeline. I therefore encourage you to prioritise it.

Manu thanks!

P.S. I understand that there is no ETA, with any approach to it would help mean my move.

You can approximate nested searches by making a new search and listing the parent search as a condition:
Condition ‘is’ Parent Search

Yeah, nesting searches would be very, very helpful. FWIW, I mean this in the sense of Boolian logic. For example research results must fit A + (B or C). Saving "smart" searches, instead of folders and subfolders, etc. would be much more efficient.

Yes, it's possible to search a search, and thereby add terms, but this quickly creates large numbers of saved searches which exist only to meet intermediate functions. Also quickly gets out of hand.
