Is it possible to prepopulate search text via URL?

[hiddenkirby]

http://mysplunkserver:8000/splunk/en-US/app/myapp/flashtimeline?query=index=foo

Is something similar possible?

Yes, you can do this with the q parameter. The search is automatically executed though:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/search/flashtimeline?q=search%20sourcetype%3Dsyslog

[hiddenkirby]

the searchstring would obvs be escaped.
