How can I make filters persistent in UW Libraries Search?

To make filters stay in place while you are searching:

  2. Click on the filters you need and click on the Apply Filters button

  4. Click the lock icon to make an individual item persistent

  5. Or click on the Remember all filters button

Once a filter is “locked”, it will be applied to all of your searches until you remove the filter by doing one of the following: clicking on the reset filters button, clicking on a menu item (Basic Search, Advanced Search etc.), close the search window or log out of your session.
