Saving a Search

ArcSight calls saved searches by 2 labels:

As a filter
A Filter saves the query expression, but does not save the time range or the field set information.

As a "saved search"
A saved search saves the query expression and the time range that you specified.

A filter is a subset of the saved search, and is the "wussier" version of a "saved search"
