# Saving Records in a Collection
After conducting a search you can add the results to an existing collection.
You can select records by holding down the SHIFT key and selecting sequential records from the search results; by holding the OPTION key and clicking on individual records; or by clicking on the button with three dots on the upper-right corner of the results display to select an entire page of records (the number of records displayed per page can be set by following [these instructions](/navigating-and-searching/options-for-displaying-search-results.md)).
Then drag and drop your selected records directly into the collection shown in the [Quick Access column](/using-census-data/user-accounts-and-personal-collections/the-quick-access-column.md).
You can also save the entire result of a search in a new collection. To do this, click on the button with three dots on the upper-right corner of the preview window.
You will then be asked to name your search. Click **SAVE**, and you will find your search under the selected heading:
To access your saved searches, open the [Quick Access *C*olumn](/using-census-data/user-accounts-and-personal-collections/the-quick-access-column.md) via the arrow icon to the left of the search bar. You will then find them under **Saved Searches**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.census.de/using-census-data/user-accounts-and-personal-collections/saving-records-in-a-collection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
