Splunk Enterprise Security

What are the best resources for learning Extreme Search?

Trying to get my head wrapped around this Extreme Search thing and I'm not finding any great (or well written) docs. I found some under the Extreme Search app itself, a few pages under the Enterprise Security docs, and it looks like there's some with the new Extreme Search Visualization app. Am I missing any other helpful resources out there?

I'd start with the most recent material. There was a presentation given at .conf 2015 for Extreme Search. You will find all of the presentations at the 2015 .conf site.
