Splunk Fundamentals 1 Practice Exam

When clicking a highlighted keyword from search results, which option is NOT available?

1. Add to search

2. Exclude from search

3. Modify original search

4. New Search

The correct answer is: Modify original search

The option that is not available when clicking a highlighted keyword from search results is modifying the original search. When you interact with a highlighted keyword, Splunk typically provides options to add that keyword to your current search or exclude it from subsequent searches, helping to refine your queries based on the highlighted terms. Adding the keyword allows you to quickly refine the focus of your search to include more specific data. Excluding the keyword can be beneficial when you want to filter out specific terms from your search results, thus narrowing down the data set to find more relevant information. The option to conduct a new search is also available, allowing for a fresh query based on the keyword without altering the existing search. However, modifying the original search directly from a clicked keyword is not an option provided in this context, as modifications typically happen from the main search bar where the original search query resides.
