This can be done using command line parameters and custom shortcuts. Custom toolbar buttons can be created under the "Customize" command on the toolbar, accessed by clicking the chevron on the rightmost side of a toolbar and selecting 'Add or Remove Buttons'.

 

 

In the 'Toolbars' section of that menu, there's a 'Custom' button on the righthand side. A search button can be created by making a custom toolbar button that points to the Laserfiche client (or web client if the customer prefers) and uses command line parameters to call a search.

 

My Laserfiche client, installed in the default location, was found here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Client\LF.exe

By appending the -S switch to the Client path, I can add search syntax to be launched when the button is clicked.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Client\LF.exe -W -L"LaserRepository" -S"{LF:Name=\"Zachary Buck\", Type=\"F\"}"

The W and L switches tell the system to log in with Windows Authentication and to log in to the LaserRepository repository respectively.

 

More information about which command line switches are available can be found in our Administration help files.

You can create a shortcut that includes the search parameters.

Out of the box you could create a Customized Quick Search.  Click HERE for the Help File on that section.  

 

The search would then be added to the customize search drop down.  Not a button or shortcut exactly but it would allow them to pick the search from the drop down in the Quick Search bar.

Thanks for the responses everyone - not exactly what the client is looking for - they were at a Laserfiche User's Group last week and apparently this was a topic (e.g. being able to access a Saved Search via a short-cut on the toolbar).
