Update search string of a saved search without using Manager?

[jkeglovitz]

Is it possible to update the search string of an existing saved search without using Manager? This would make it easier to iterate on a saved search directly from the Search UI.

For instance, if I pull up a saved search in the context of one of my Splunk apps, I'd like to edit the search and save it without being asked to create a new search. If I supply the same name, I get an error that a search with that name already exists.

Not in the current version (4.2) of Splunk via the default Splunk web GUI, no, it is not.
