You can "pin" a saved search allowing the search to be run from a toolbar icon or a command. The Search toolbars are the following:

Search toolbar

The Search toolbar will run searches that apply to the current main tabs or the navigators contained within it.

Global search toolbar

The Global Search can launch a search in any main tab and will open a new main tab if there isn't one already available. Put another way, the Global Search toolbar can cause the current main tab to change, whereas, the Search toolbar will not.

To display the Search and Global search toolbar

On the Window menu, point to Toolbars and then click Search toolbar and Global search toolbar.

To search by the Search and Global search toolbar

Click an icon in the Search and Global search toolbar to run the pinned search.

Note: to know what search is attached to an icon, hover over the icon for a moment and then read the tooltip.
