An analyst needs to preserve the data from a search to view later. Which option should they select?

Question

Options

• ASave Criteria
• BSave Results
• CSave Data
• DSave Search

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  78% (21)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  15% (4)

Explanation

Save Results (B) is correct because the analyst wants to preserve the actual data returned by the search - the results themselves - so they can reference that specific snapshot later without re-running the query.

• A (Save Criteria) saves only the search parameters (filters, keywords, date ranges), not the data - useful for re-running a search, but the results could change over time.
• C (Save Data) is a plausible-sounding distractor but is not a standard option in most search/analytics interfaces; it lacks the precision of "Results."
• D (Save Search) typically saves the search query/criteria for reuse, similar to A - again, this preserves how to find data, not what was found.

Memory tip: Think of the distinction as "save the recipe vs. save the meal" - if you want to eat the same food later, save the meal (Results); if you just want to cook again, save the recipe (Criteria/Search).
