# Enable Polling for Saved Searches

Users with the `FindBI` role can save their searches in Find as a tab which they can return to later. Because databases are often updated or changed, the result set might change over time. You can configure Find to poll for any changes to the saved search results since the search was saved, and then display the number of new results in the tab.

To enable or disable polling

1. Click the cog in the top right corner of the application, and then click Settings.
2. In the Saved Searches section, click Enable Polling or Disable Polling as appropriate.
3. Click Save Changes.

To specify the interval between polling attempts

1. Click the cog in the top right corner of the application, and then click Settings.
2. In the Saved Searches section, type the number of minutes that should elapse in between polling attempts in the Polling Interval (in minutes) field.
3. Click Save Changes.

NOTE: Polling for saved searches counts as user activity, and delays a session timeout for the user. If your polling interval is shorter than your session timeout, the polling causes the session to continue until you close the browser window. See Configure Session Timeout.
