Dynamic Search Query

[rarangarajanspl]

I am new to Splunk. Please help me out with this.
My dashboard is having 5 text fields and allows the users to key in data.
1. I want to make all of the text fields are optional.
2. I need to construct the search query based on the user input. i.e. dynamically construct the search query filter based on user input
Ex 1: with 3 text fields input from user, i need to generate the query with three filters.
Ex 2: with no inputs from user, it should be generic search with out filters

You can set text input token to "*" when there is no user input , Try this. Example contains three inputs you can extend same to five inputs.

<form>
  <label>Test</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="text" token="field1">
      <label>Text Input - Sourcetype</label>
      <change>
        <condition value="">
          <set token="field1">*</set>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
    <input type="text" token="field2">
      <label>Text Input - Source</label>
      <change>
        <condition value="">
          <set token="field2">*</set>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
    <input type="text" token="field3">
      <label>Text Input - Host</label>
      <change>
        <condition value="">
          <set token="field3">*</set>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Query built: index=_internal earliest=-15m sourcetype=$field1$ source=$field2$ host=$field3$ | stats count by sourcetype, source, host</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal earliest=-15m sourcetype=$field1$ source=$field2$ host=$field3$ | stats count by sourcetype, source, host</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>

HI Manjunath - Thank You Very Much.I use a submit button. Please find the code and help
1. As soon as i open the dash board, it's allowing to submit with all the fields only.I can submit by giving input to all the fileds. When i try to submit with 2 or 3 fileds, it's not allowing to submit.
2. When i try second time by deleting (backspace) a value in the field, it's getting auto submitted (once i click tab to move next filed). But, i can submit manually (i am not supposed to use tab)
3.I am currently working on input parameters only.Ignore the output params in the code.
4. Tried with Searchwhenchanged="False". No luck.

This is happening as autoRun is set to "true" in fieldset element. Set autoRun to false and submitButton to "true".

<fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="false">
<input type="radio" token="test">
