Assuming a base URL of https://splunk:8000/en-us/app/search, i.e. the search app on your Splunk search head, you can construct basic search URLs with the earliest, latest, and q query parameters:

https://splunk:8000/en-US/app/search/search?earliest=-24h%40h&latest=now&q=search%20index%3Dx%20employeeid%3D123 

https://splunk:8000/en-US/app/search/search?earliest=-24h%40h&latest=now&q=search%20index%3Dx%20app%3Dabc 

Basic URL encoding rules apply.

@tscroggins @REACHGPRAVEEN I'm facing a similar requirement. I tried appending my query to the q=search parameter as follows:

 

https://splunksearch.com/en-US/app/search/search? q=search index=xyz sourcetype=xyz

 

However, it only opens the Splunk Search window, the search query is not copy pasted in the search window.

The URL should be encoded e.g. spaces should be replaced by %20

https://splunksearch.com/en-US/app/search/search?q=search%20index=xyz%20sourcetype=xyz
