Hi @vengat4043 

I try to help, but maybe I don't understand the point.

anyway the splunk command to collect search results on a index is: "collect"

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/SearchReference/Collect

now I built a dashboard with your request, a textbox and a panel with a collect comand to add the results on one index

<form>
  <label>test dashboard</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="text" token="field1">
      <label>textbox</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>fieldbox</title>
        <search>
          <query>* | eval fieldbox="$field1$" | table fieldbox _time | head 1 | collect index="name of index"</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

 

please, remember to change the name of index on the search present in Dashboard

I hope this can help
