   A consultant notices that a frequently-run dashboard search completes much faster on the second run than the first. The consultant opens the Search Job Inspector for the second run and sees a field indicating the job reused previously stored results. Which inspector field or section would confirm this behavior?

   • AThe 'dispatch' phase showing a longer duration because the search head is reading the cached results.
   • BThe 'resultCount' field showing a lower number because the cache only stores partial results.
   • CThe 'search artifacts' section showing that results were loaded from a cache rather than re-scanned from the index.
   • DThe 'scanCount' field showing a higher number because the search is scanning the cache instead of the index.

   A consultant is investigating a search that returns 1,000 results but the user expected 10,000. The Search Job Inspector shows a 'scanCount' of 50,000 and a 'resultCount' of 1,000.

   • CThe 'scanCount' field, which shows the total events scanned from the index before any filtering.
   • DThe 'previewCount' field, which shows the number of events that passed through the pipeline during preview.
