how to filter a saved search

[tsmithsplunk]

(splunk 4.2) I have a saved search that returns too many categories to be visually clear in a chart. I would like to use the search for an entire dashboard, so I don't want to restrict it. I would like to just display the top 20 results in a chart so the categories will be readable. Can I filter the saved search using the simplified xml?

On a dashboard with a form, you can use and . Otherwise you can use the savedsearch command to load a saved search, then pipe to head, for example.

You may be assuming I know more than I do. Currently I'm using to access the saved search. I tried many variants but could not get them to work:

| savedsearch mysearch; mysearch. Can I combine the and tags?
