Reuse 'property' based search criteria

Is there a way to export a 'Property' based search?  For instance, we draw all M, E, and P in the same Revit file. I'd like to set up a search that checks:  ducts & duct fittings vs. SAN/Storm/Vent plumbing systems. This can be configured manually (as shown in the image), but how do I create this as a 'settings file' that can be reused on every job we do?

 

Thank you!

@dtiemeyer,

 

Yes, We could search items and save it through OOB option. 

1. Open Find items Tab,

2. Set the appropriate search in Find items dialog box.

3. Export the settings

4. Import and re-use the settings for other projects

Thank you.  I was hoping that the results of this find tool could be saved as a 'real time' search set - so that if a file was appended, any elements in the search criteria would automatically be added to the 'set' which gets used for Clash Checking. I dont believe it can do that, but at least we can save the search criteria.

 

Cheers!
