  <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>$field1.earliest$</title>
      <input type="time" token="field1">
        <label></label>
        <default>
          <earliest>1508450400</earliest>
          <latest>1508623200</latest>
        </default>
      </input>
      <event>
        <search>
          <query>index=test "CURRENT LOGGED USER"</query>
          <earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">50</option>
        <option name="list.drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="list.wrap">1</option>
        <option name="maxLines">5</option>
        <option name="raw.drilldown">full</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">0</option>
        <option name="table.drilldown">all</option>
        <option name="table.sortDirection">asc</option>
        <option name="table.wrap">1</option>
        <option name="type">list</option>
      </event>

@marziaolla, as @cmerriman has pointed out addinfo command is one of the ways to add Search Job Earliest Time and Latest Time. Other option would be to use default tokens for Job which can be accessed in search event handlers. Refer to one of my answers which illustrates both examples. You can use the toking for String Time to display time in String format of your choice(using strftime()) instead of epoch time.
