The first step is to run one or more searches.  Then do one of these actions:

While viewing your search results, click the Save query icon.

OR

 Click on the Go to search history icon in the top tool bar.

Two of the searches in this sample search history may look the same, but they are actually different.  Although the keywords are the same (animal intelligence language), one searched Articles, while the other one searched Books & Media (CSUSB).  The third search adds an additional keyword (parrots) to further narrow the search.

Click in the box next to 3 search queries to save all three searches, or click in individual boxes.  Then click the Add this search icon.

To return to searching, click on the Go to search icon in the top tool bar.

To view saved searches, follow the steps under number 3. Add this Item, but click on Saved Searches.
