Dashboard that takes one input(field) and then determines which query to run?

[Patrunner]

Anyone have a tip on how to have a token(from field)- and then determine which query to run based on that input? 

For example
(datasources/queries: fruit, meat, vegetable)

Field: banana
->run query for fruit
->display table about banana from said query. 

Struggling with this one- trying to make a dynamic search bar that populates tables based on the input- thus making multiple of my dashboard redundant. Slimming things down.

Thanks for the reply, however Im not quite looking for an alternative solution. Im wondering if this is something splunk is capable of.

Another option perhaps closer to what you seek is to have each input set a token with the appropriate query string.  Then the search will just invoke that token.

For instance, if "banana" is selected, then the input token's <change> element might set a token called $query$ to what is needed to search for fruit.  The <query> element then becomes simply

<query>$query$</query>

One approach is to have a separate panel for each search then have the selected token make the appropriate panel appear.
