Upon completion of a search, all the results can be saved usingthe File->Save Search Results Menu. Search results are saved in an XML file, which can be loaded back in using theFile->Load Search Results Menu. A couple of helper files may also be saved (with the same file name but different extensions - .alfa and .acf). While these files are not explicitly saved or loaded via the menu item, any user modifications to these may break the Load feature. A search that is paused, may also be saved as defined above. The file when loaded back will allow the user to continue the paused search.
The save feature allows the user to Reanalyze the search with different Concept and Interaction Lexicons. A user may Edit the Concept or Interaction Lexicon (see Working with Lexicons) and hit the Reanalyze button. Reanalyze provides the user with quicker analysis of saved articles as the lengthy process of querying PubMed is avoided.
