How to parameterize a search?

Is there a way to parameterize a search, for instance, lollipop="{first, second, third}".
I want to retrieve a table of data based on multiple search instances where the parameter changes based on a comma-delimited value.

You can use a macro or you can also use the savedsearch command, which is probably what you are seeking (search for replace_me😞
