The search returned the most recent events first, which is the default behavior

The search returned events that are all errors, but some may be false positives

The search returned all events containing the word 'error' in the last 24 hours

A user has a saved search named 'Failed Logins' that they run regularly. They want to run it now but with a different time range than the one saved with the search. What should they do?

Run the saved search and then filter the results by time

Edit the saved search to change the time range permanently

Create a new saved search with the new time range

Open the saved search and change the time range before running it

A Splunk user frequently runs the same search every Monday to review the previous week's security alerts. They want to avoid retyping the search each time. What is the best way to reuse this search?

Create a dashboard panel with the search

Copy the search from the search history and paste it each time
