  • Patent number: 11841908
    Abstract: Based on a selection by a user of first one or more values of one or more events displayed in a graphical interface, an extraction rule is automatically determined that is capable of extracting a field label-value pair at least partially within at least the selected one or more values. An option is displayed that correspond to the determined extraction rule in the graphical interface. Based on the user selecting the option in the graphical interface, display is caused of second one or more values of one or more field label-value pairs extracted from the one or more events using the extraction rule. The one or more events may be displayed in a table format, and the first one or more value may be selected by the user selecting one or more cells, columns, or text portions in the table format.

  • Patent number: 11698900
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for presenting a search interface with search query history based functionality is provided. A search query history store comprising search queries is accessed. The search query history store includes search queries executed in a search computing system. A search query comprises one or more commands. A plurality of search queries retrieved from the search query history store is displayed on the search interface using a placement style. A placement style, such as an indent style, provides a structure for separating and arranging commands of a plurality of search queries displayed. The search interface further provides for receiving a selection of at least a portion of a search query from the plurality of search queries to initiate actions or execute actions based on the selection. The search interface includes a search input interface, such as a search bar, where the selection of the portion of the search query is displayed based on a selected action.

  • Patent number: 11544248
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, in a first query interface, a query composed by the user by typing commands into a query box of the first query interface and based on the receiving of the query, causing events corresponding to query results of the query to be displayed in the first query interface with fields corresponding to the events. Based on the selection by the user of an option, a second query interface is displayed with a table that includes events that correspond to query results of a loaded query. The table includes columns corresponding to event attributes, rows corresponding to events. Cells are populated with the data items of event attributes, where one of the columns corresponds to a field of the fields displayed in the first query interface. The table also includes interactive regions selectable by the user to add one or more commands to the loaded query.
