hey guys…is there a way to find a deleted saved search? I think someone accidentally deleted one of my reports and i cant find it

Try the Deleted Record Audit Log. Also Suite Answer 39224. I haven’t tried them with Saved Searches before.

maybe you still have a release preview account active and you can recreate the criteria

Sandbox might not be a bad thing either

While I have found that you cannot see deleted saved searches using the Deleted Records search, you can using an Analytics Audit Trail search. To filter much of the info that wouldn't apply, use Criteria and set Component Action any of Deleted and Detail Name is Title. This has always worked for me.
