# Saved-search monitors

Turn an exact discovery query into a deterministic, reviewable monitor.

## Overview

Saved searches preserve the normalized filters behind a search rather than an opaque natural-language promise. The evaluator reruns those rules, records matching names, and sends new actionable results into the unified inbox.

## What this covers

- Save supported searches from AI Search, Expiry Explorer, and Marketplace discovery.
- A human-readable rule interpretation shows the exact normalized conditions before saving.
- Deterministic evaluation keeps matches reproducible and rejects unsupported or ambiguous rules.
- Per-monitor match history distinguishes previously seen results from newly actionable ones.
- Pause, resume, inspect, or remove a monitor without changing the underlying ENS state.

## Before you run this workflow

### Networks

- Ethereum mainnet ENS and marketplace evidence

### Prerequisites

- Connected wallet session
- A supported normalized search rule

### Wallet permissions

- Session authentication only; saving or evaluating a monitor is offchain

### Expected result

- A persisted rule interpretation, evaluation state, and deduplicated match history

### Errors and recovery

- Correct unsupported filters
- Resume a paused monitor
- Re-check every match against live detail data

## How to use it

1. **Build a supported search.** Set the exact text, lifecycle, length, collection, price, or listing filters on a supported discovery surface.
2. **Review the interpretation.** Before saving, read the normalized rules and correct any condition that does not match your intent.
3. **Inspect new matches.** Open Saved Searches or the Inbox and verify availability, lifecycle, listing freshness, and current price on the detail page.
4. **Pause stale intent.** Pause or remove a monitor when its criteria no longer represent a live decision.

## A match is not a reservation

> Saved-search results are observations. Availability, ownership, listing executability, and premium price can change before you act.
