UX Design idea - for the "search" button

Hi All...
This is not a bug or big issue or anything.. this is from my User Experience Design training classes thought.. i would like to see your views on this.

I am not sure if this was there on previous Splunk Versions or not.
(i had a six months break from my job and i am back as a splunk consultant..). currently i am using Splunk 7.0.3.

The case study - Lets say i enter a SPL query, i choose the time on timepicker.. once i pick the time, i expect the search query to start running.

Most probably, after choosing the time, we won't edit anything else, right? So, after choosing the time, if the query starts running automatically, then, it would save a "mouse-over" and "a click" on the search button.

Please provide your views/suggestions. thanks.

@inventsekar besides selecting the time you may need to tweak the query in search UI from time to time and also change the Search mode. Submit button waits for User to confirm that they are ready to execute their query. I hope you understand the use case for Search UI to investigate data etc. If people need to execute the same query over and over again they should use Reports with Time Picker which will auto run the search whenever Time input is changed.

If you think you need Splunk Search UI changes for your Use Case/Customer Requirement you can use SplunkJS Stack to build your own SearchView. Refer to following previous answer for the same (There is no Submit Button :)): https://answers.splunk.com/answers/586948/how-to-change-app-banner-css-when-open-search-in-s.html

actually, consider this case -
i write a SPL query.. i run it by clicking the search button.. it runs fine..
then i modify the time on timepicker.. when i do this change, the search runs instantly, without mouseover and click on the search.

i mean, when we run the first SPL query, this issue is there.. further modifications to the SPL query and timepicker, this mouseover and click not required.
