Hello Splunk Experts,

I would use an HTML module, create a <textarea>, mark it readonly and dump $search$ into it.

At it's simplest:

<module name="HTML">
  <param name="html"><![CDATA[
    <textarea readonly>$search$</textarea>
  ]]></param>
</module>

If you don't want the search to change, I wouldn't display the bar. According to Module Ref, there is no readonly option.
