I think @marnall meant

| where _time=info_max_time

(Or whatever other meta field) instead of eval.

The $notation$ is only used within dashboards and with map command and it's substituted with a value before a (sub)search is spawned. The normal search interface doesn't have this functionality. You need to use @marnall 's way to add the search metadata to the results.

You could use the addinfo command then use the info_min_time field to contain the epoch time of your earliest time boundary in your time picker:

<your search>
| addinfo
| eval _time = info_min_time

i modified my search  but not getting any result 

index = ****** host=transaction source=prd | spath
| mvexpand message
| rename message as _raw
| fields - {}.* ``` optional ```
| spath path={}
| mvexpand {}
| fields - _* ``` optional ```
| spath input={}
| search TARGET_SYSTEM="EAS"
| chart sum(TRANSACTION_COUNT) as TRANSACTION_COUNT by INSERT_DATE
| addinfo
| eval _time =info_min_time
| where INSERT_DATE=_time

My ROW Data:

[{"ID":"115918","TARGET_SYSTEM":"EAS","REVIEW":"CPW_00011H","TOTAL_INVENTORY":0,"TOTAL_HITS":0,"TRANSACTION_TYPE":"MQ","TRANSACTION_NAME":"HO620I","TRANSACTION_COUNT":4,"PROCESS_DATE":"11/26/2024","INSERT_DATE":"11/27/2024"}
,{"ID":"115919","TARGET_SYSTEM":"EAS","REVIEW":"CPW_00011H","TOTAL_INVENTORY":0,"TOTAL_HITS":0,"TRANSACTION_TYPE":"MQ","TRANSACTION_NAME":"HO626I","TRANSACTION_COUNT":39,"PROCESS_DATE":"11/26/2024","INSERT_DATE":"11/27/2024"}]

When i am not using where condition its giving me data. 

index = **** host=transaction source=prd | spath
| mvexpand message
| rename message as _raw
| fields - {}.* ``` optional ```
| spath path={}
| mvexpand {}
| fields - _* ``` optional ```
| spath input={}
| search TARGET_SYSTEM="EAS"
| chart sum(TRANSACTION_COUNT) as TRANSACTION_COUNT by INSERT_DATE
| addinfo
| eval _time =info_min_time
