You can create work area-aware saved searches using either the Search by Form dialog or the Define Search dialog. A work area-aware saved search is basically a search that is defined to search for documents, starting from the work area in which the search itself is saved.

You can copy any saved search to another work area. When you copy a work area-aware saved search to another work area, the search path of the new saved search is updated to reflect the work area it was copied to. In other words, the "look in" field of the new saved search is reset to point to or start from the work area in which the saved search was copied to.
