Abstract

Fields may be discovered in events that are returned in response to an initial search. The events may comprise portions of raw data. Furthermore, the fields may be defined by extraction rules for extracting values from corresponding portions of raw data. The displaying of a graphical user interface (GUI) may be caused where the GUI enables a user to select or enter criteria for a subset of the discovered fields without entering a search query in a search bar. At least one criterion for at least one field from the subset of the discovered fields may be received through a portion of the GUI that does not include a search bar for entering a search query. The events returned in response to the initial search query may be caused to be filtered based on the received criterion.
