# Pause or Delete an Extended Search for Creator

You can have up to 5 active extended searches. If you want to run additional searches, then you must first pause or delete an existing *active* extended search.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To prevent overwhelming results, searches are automatically paused if there are 100 unreviewed search results. Searches are also paused when they return fewer than 5 results.
