# Search for a saved query

The CMDB Query Builder allows you to search for a specific saved query using any combination of search criteria such as the query's name, type, custom tags, and who created or updated the query.

## Before you begin

To locate a saved query using a **Query Tags** search criteria, the query must have a query tag associated with it. For more information see [Build a CMDB query using the CMDB Query Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/use-cmdb-query-builder.md), or [Build a Service Mapping query using the CMDB Query Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/build-service-mapping-query.md).

Role required: cmdb\_query\_builder

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Configuration** > **CMDB Query Builder**.

    The Saved Queries tab shows all saved queries in tiles, and also a tile for creating a new query.

2.  On the Saved Queries tab, specify a **Sort by** criteria to filter the saved queries that are showing.

3.  In the **Search Saved Queries** field, enter a search string that corresponds to the **Sort by** selection and then select an item from the list that gets populated as you type.

    The drop-down list includes search strings that can be applied to the sorting criteria such as 'Query name'.

4.  Refine the search by entering additional **Search Saved Queries** search strings as needed.
