Saving an instant search query as a search folder?

[Ted M H]

I'm working with Office 2007 on Win XP Pro. I love the new instant search
feature and especially the query builder. I also like the search folder
feature.
What I want to do is to save my instant search query builder queries as a
search folder without having to mess around with the old dialog boxes that
seem to be the basis of custom search folders.
Is there a way to save instant search query criteria as a search folder, or
do you really have to re-enter all the query information separately in order
to create a search folder?

if you are using the search field in the inbox, no, you can't save it. The
advanced search dialog will allow you to create a search folder (File menu).
