When you save and run a search, you have the option to share the search. When you do this, a separate copy of that search is created under the other user's account for them to use, rename, and modify. You can share a search to individual contacts, to the public search user, or to 25Live Publisher.
Sharing a search with another 25Live user will not generate an email notification.
Security Note
Sharing a search requires the setting Admin: 2.0 Share Searches by Security Group in Series25 Group Administration.
