Saved searches

[spoorun]

The ability to save search results to appear in the left panel (as a virtual folder, below 'Groups')

This requires #313 (advanced search strings) to be useful.

If both #313 and this issue were implemented, users with a lot of contacts, administrators, and business users, would be able to create easy and useful 'search folders'.

When saving a search, User should be able to give the search a name.

Examples:

• User wants to frequently see all their contacts in their bowling club.
• User searches 'Loughton Bowling', and saves the search for regular use.
• User needs to see list of employees in certain locations. They have a custom field 'Employee'
• User searches (after Advanced search strings #313 implemented) #Employee:yes and London to find all employees in London, and saves the search for regular use, under the name 'London staff'
• User needs to regularly see all members that are lapsed. They have a custom field membership.
• User searches #Membership:lapsed and saves the search for regular use, under the name: 'Lapsed Members'

Nice idea too!
Main issue is that we don't store settings outside the user's browser. So if a user change computer, the saved searches won't appear. :)

Closing, as we won't implement this feature.
Search should now be handled by the server directly. this is out of scope for this. :)
