i have a list of string lets say  "abc" "bcd" "def" "efg" "fgh".

I want to search each of these string against a query for example :

"abc"

index=xyz sourcetype=logs host=localhost
| table _time,  _raw

and i want to search it as - if this string occurs in the result-set within last 10 days then it should print "present" otherwise it should print "absent"

Hi

if you have only small number of strings which you are looking, then you can try this

index=xyz sourcetype=logs host=localhost earliest=-10d@d
| rex "(?<foo1>string1)"
..... ```Add all strings here one by one```
| rex "(?<fooN>stringN)"
| stats values(foo*) as foo*
| fillnull value=NULL foo1 ... fooN ```here you must named all variables```
| foreach foo* 
    [eval present_<<FIELD>> = if ('<<FIELD>>' == "NULL", "absent", "present")]
| table foo* present*
