Splunk Search

How to Disable auto-run when changing mode or time in Search view?

Context: New Search View.  I am not referring to Dashboards (which have many auto-run posts).

I often develop searches in Verbose mode over a very small timespan, then move to Fast mode over a large timespan (Smart mode doesn't work well for me).

What drives me crazy is when I either change the mode or select a time preset, the Splunk UI automatically begins a search. I want to change both the mode and the timespan before starting a search.  

Is there a way to disable automatically running search -- so that it only runs a search after an explicit "enter" / search button click?

@rajbeerdhatt - I don't think there is currently any option you can set in Splunk.

But you can submit your idea of enhancement here - https://ideas.splunk.com/ideas
