Splunk Enterprise Security Content Management: difference between Saved Search and Correlation Search types

D0do

Hello,

I have two saved searches saved in the same app in a SH with Enterprise Security: from Splunk ES Content Management section, one has type "Saved Search", the other has type "Correlation Search".

Do you know what's the specific parameter (guess in the savedsearches.conf file) that is used in Splunk to distinguish between the two search types? Specifically, I would like to turn the Search1 to type "Correlation Search" as reported for search2.

Thank you in advance, have a nice day!
