This article outlines how to create and manage a Saved Search Notification, which allows users to create an automatic email notification that alerts them of new results for a saved search on the Job Listings or Events page. Saved search notifications are the best way to ensure you don't miss a new opportunity or event from your favorite saved filter sets.

Creating a Saved Search Notification
- Add your desired filters on the Job Listings or Events page, and select "Turn on email alerts for this search" on the bottom left hand of the screen. In this example, a student would like to be notified by email of new Google jobs in the Los Angeles area.
2. Give your save search a name, choose your notification preferences (either Weekly or Daily), and select OK.
Disabling or Editing a Saved Search Notification
To edit the name or frequency of a saved search, select the Saved Searches & Alerts menu and choose the pencil icon.
From there it's possible to edit the Saved Search Name and the frequency of notifications. Notifications can also be disabled from this menu.
Deleting a Saved Search
To delete a saved search entirely, select the My Saved Searches & Alerts menu and choose the trash can icon. Deleting a search is permanent and this action cannot be reversed. If you only want to prevent notifications from a Saved Search, edit the search and choose "Disabled" as in the section above.
