Saving Search Results to a OneNote Page

Search results obtained by the Find Pages dialog can be saved as semi-active content to a new OneNote page in the current section using the Save Search Result action from the drop-down menu of the Pages search result panel.

☝️ The Saved Search is stored as a table. The full-text search query cell and the tag list cells can be manually edited to adjust the search result. Changes will take effect on next page update by the Update command or the Update action of the Tag Pages dialog.

☝️ The tag names are matched in a lenient way by ignoring hash characters, casing, or spacing. E.g the tags #softwaredevelopment, #SoftwareDevelopment, SoftwareDevelopment, Software Development are all treated as equivalent.
