I have a large number of saved searches ( over 4000 ) that I need to manage. One of the current tasks I have is to reassign batches of searches to a new owner. This particular use case includes reassigning over 400 searches from one user to another. I have attempted to script this, but it appears that I cannot set an owner via script and saved searches are not available via mass update. Has anyone been able to successfully update saved search owners via automation?

Who cares who the owner of the search is?

Its a requirement I have, not about to argue the point - any suggestions?

Maybe you could use SDF to update it? I wouldn't count on it - but I suppose it might be possible

At the very least - you could draw the searches out - and recreate them using SDF, but that might require doing this from that user's login.

Similar in concept - I suppose you could use a custom record/user combination to trigger a script to recreate the searches under the users.
