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.
