Hi A saved search persists your current view of Discover for later retrieval and reuse. You can reload a saved search into Discover, add it to a dashboard, and use it as the basis for a visualization. A saved query is a portable collection of query text and filters that you can reuse in [Discover](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/discover.html), [Visualize](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/visualize.html), and [Dashboard](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard.html). it doesn't contain any Discover specific information like columns Best, Matthias ---
