== Save a search for reuse
|
|
|
|
A saved search is a convenient way to reuse a search
|
|
that you've created in *Discover*.
|
|
Saved searches are good for adding search results to a dashboard,
|
|
and can also serve as a foundation for building visualizations.
|
|
|
|
A saved search stores the query text, filters, and
|
|
current view of *Discover*—the columns selected in the document table,
|
|
the sort order, and the index pattern.
|
|
Saved searches are different from <<save-load-delete-query,saved queries>>, which
|
|
are primarily used for storing query text and are available in any app with a query bar.

If the saved search is associated with a different index pattern than is currently
|
|
selected, opening the saved search changes the selected index pattern. The query language
|
|
used for the saved search is also automatically selected.
|
|
. To add your search results to a dashboard:
|
|
.. Open the main menu, then click *Dashboard*.
|
|
.. Open or create the dashboard, then click *Edit*.
|
|
.. Click *Add from library*.
|
|
.. From the *Types* dropdown, select *Saved search*.
|
|
.. Select the saved search that you want to visualize, then click *X* to close the list.
