Path Finder

This button doesn't exist anymore in Splunk 5. You have to use the Verbose Mode to see the auto extracted fields. By default, the Smart Mode is used in Search to optimize the performance.

The difference between the modes is explained here : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.3/Search/Changethesearchmode
