# Search History

Reveal tracks all searches, and keeps them available labeled with the Search date and time under Search History at the right side of the Search bar.

Searches are listed from the most recent down to the earliest in the project in pages of ten items each. To see the details of any search, click on the **>** arrow at the left of the item.

The search may be re-run using the play button to its right. Once the search plays (and its re-play is added to the search history) it may be saved as-is, or extended using Search Builder and saved to a search folder as edited. The original search that was run will remain in Search History.

The search may also be added to an existing search:

- With a search open in the Search Builder, open Search History.
- Select the search to use.
- Use the spyglass button to add the search term to the current search.
