What is the purpose of shortcut?
Hi Low!
I've read many times about shortcut: http://gotolow.com/addons/low-search/...
As you said: Shortcuts are saved searches and I can trigger the same search results using shortcut names.
But I really don't know which is the main purpose of shortcut? Can you give me some typical case?
Thank so much!

The page in the docs says it all, really. If you want to have a combination of parameters (and thus entries) on the page, but you don't want a big query string or encoded query segment in the URL, you can create a shortcut for it.
In theory, you could create a single template that outputs anything, with a single Results tag, but with a list of predefined shortcuts rather than a search form.

Thank for your reply!
I create a dynamic keyword with url like this:
domain.com/filter/keyword-a
domain.com/filter/keyword-b
...
And using results tag:
{exp:low_search:results query="{segment_2}"...
It seem everything work well without using shortcut.
Have any ideas?

Oh oh!
Seem I've miss the most important things in your words:
"but with a list of predefined shortcuts rather than a search form."
In this case I can using Low Search like tags filter.
Thank so much!
