Comment on Searching and browsing on the AO3

    Is it possible to save frequently used searches? So that you don't have to scroll down and check/type everything over and over every time you log in to look for a favorite category of fics?

      Hi there,

      It's not possible at present, although we have received other requests for this feature and may be able to develop it in future. However, AO3 searches do generate a specific url, so once you've done your search once, you can bookmark that specific page in your browser and it will bring you back to the same search each time.

      Hope that's helpful!

      Thanks, and enjoy using the Archive.

        Oh yes! Very helpful. I'll just create a browser bookmark folder for all my most frequent searches. Thanks! :)

        Perfect! I was looking for how to do this, but hadn't even thought about bookmarking.
