Saving and loading queries

When using complex queries, or one is repeating the same search on annotation files, it is convenient to reuse a query. This is possible in ELAN thanks to the save and load query functionality.

Saving a query

  1. Specify a query in the search dialog

  2. Either choose Query > Save or click on the save icon in the toolbar.

  3. Enter a file name for the active query.

  4. Choose save.
