Search and selection sets can be updated. You can modify your current
selection in the Scene View, or the current search criteria, and change the
contents of your set to reflect this.
You can also export search sets and reuse them. For example, if models contain
the same components, such as steel structure, ventilation ductwork, and so
on, you can define generic search sets, export them as an XML file, and share
with other users.
