How to set up radio button or checkbox to alter text search?

I'd like to use a radio button or checkbox to alter a search
i.e. toggle between either

Index=$index$ host=$host$ source=$source$

or

Index=$index$ host=$host$ source=$source$ **NOT INFO**

I cannot find a simple way to do this, I find radio buttons will not uncheck, and leaving an option blank gets me an undefined search etc.

Is there a way to do this?

@raborder,

Try this example with radio button
- First option searches internal index for all log levels including INFO
- Second option searches internal index for all log levels excluding INFO

<form>
  <label>Search Switch</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="radio" token="search_tok">
      <label>Select the search</label>
      <choice value="">Include INFO</choice>
      <choice value="NOT &quot;INFO&quot;">Exclude INFO</choice>
      <default></default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_* $search_tok$|stats count by log_level</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Awesome Renjith. This works as I want. I'll go over it and work out why my solution didn't 🙂
