Data Storage


Data storage saves a fixed set of the user’s data; the query which produced the set of results will be lost, but the search results are saved.

If the data is continuously updated (e.g. news articles), and the user needs the most recent information use Rule Storage instead. Rule Storage saves the query, not the data.


Example 1: Saving messages from an Outlook search

Outlook does not save the search criteria, it saves only the selected messages.
