Explore+ Admins and Standard+ users can now convert any Standard Search into an Optimized Search. This brings the full search-creation workflow — including the AI Search Assistant — into a connected flow.

 

This article will cover:

 


 

Saving a Standard Search as an Optimized Search

 

To save a Standard Search as an Optimized Search, follow these steps:

 

Note: You must be a Standard+ or Admin users can create or edit Optimized Searches, so they are the only users who will see the search type selection. Standard and View-Only users will not see this option.

 

  1. Click the Explore in the lefthand navigation bar
  2. Open an existing search 
  3. Select the Save drop-down in the top righthand corner
  4. Click Save as
  5. Enter a search name
  6. Select Optimized

 

  1. Choose whether to enable data collection going forward

 

Note: As an option, select a historical date range to import data from Meltwater’s archive

 

  1. Add your search to a Folder
  2. Click Save

 

The new Optimized Search appears alongside your other Explore+ assets.

 


 

Understanding Historical Data

 

When saving as Optimized, Admins can optionally pull historic content into their private index:

  • Choose from preset windows (7 days, 30 days, quarter, year) or set a custom range
  • Data is added from Meltwater’s full archive
  • Account-level private index limits still apply
  • Large retroactive imports may take time
