Saving searches and using your watchlist

Two tools help you keep up with a moving marketplace without checking it constantly: saved searches alert you when new animals match what you are looking for, and the watchlist lets you follow specific listings you are weighing.

Saved searches

Once you have set filters that find the right animals, save that combination so Creatures can tell you when something new matches.

• How to save one: set your filters on the marketplace, then save the search. Your saved searches appear as pills along the top of the marketplace, so one click reruns that exact search.
• What it does: Creatures watches for new listings that match your saved filters and notifies you, so you hear about a fitting animal early instead of stumbling on it later.
• How often you hear about matches: you choose the notification frequency, and the choice changes how it feels:
• Instant notifies you as soon as a match is listed. Best for competitive or rare finds where being early matters.
• Daily gathers the day's matches into one digest. A calm once-a-day catch-up.
• Weekly sends a single weekly roundup. For casual browsing with no rush.
• Off keeps the saved search for one-click reuse but sends no notifications.

The default is daily, and you can change it any time.

• Editing and removing: each saved-search pill has an edit control to rename it or change its frequency, and you can delete ones you no longer need.
• The limit: you can keep up to 10 saved searches at once. The reason is to keep alerts meaningful rather than noisy. If you reach 10, remove one you no longer use to add a new one.

The watchlist

The watchlist is for following an individual listing rather than a whole search.

• How it works: every listing has a heart. Tap it to add that listing to your watchlist; tap it again to remove it. It is a simple on/off toggle.
• What it is for: the watchlist is your shortlist of specific animals you are considering. Instead of hunting for a listing again later, open your watchlist and it is there.
• Why it matters for auctions: following an auction you are interested in keeps it close at hand so you can come back to bid before it closes. Pair it with an Instant saved search and you will rarely miss something you wanted.
