What do you mean by a "search template"? What do you plan to do with it?

That would be a macro. Search macros are parameterized chunks of a search that you can reuse in saved and ad-hoc searches. Search macros can be any part of a search, such as an eval statement or search term, and do not need to be a complete command. You can also specify whether or not the macro field takes any arguments.

Go to Settings->Advanced Search->Search macros->New to create a macro.
Invoke the macro in your search by enclosing the name in backticks.

See Create and use search macros - from the Splunk documentation
