# Open a Shared Search as a New Query

When a user opens a shared search that they did not create, for example by clicking on a dashboard, by default Find opens the shared search directly if they have permission to edit it, or in read-only mode if they do not. The user can create a new query from the read-only one by using the Open as Query option.

You can configure Find to automatically always open a new query for a shared search.

To configure Find to open shared searches as a new query by default

1. Go to the Find home directory.
2. Open `config.json` in a text editor.

3. In the `uiCustomization` section, add the `openSharedDashboardQueryAsNewSearch` property, and set it to `true` to automatically open a shared search as a new query. For example:

       "uiCustomization": {
          "openSharedDashboardQueryAsNewSearch": true
          }
