Splunk Search

New search button is really slow

When I click new search in the context menu it opens a new tab with a search with the single field I click on.
The new search looks something like this:
*| spath severity | search severity=DEBUG
This is super slow. Is there a way to make this faster?

Where is this context menu?
Is * really the first part of the search?

This is the context menu. It appears when clicking on absolutely any value when using splunk to search logs. The queries it produces are really slow.

yes * is really the first part of the search
Is this not a search option that everyone has?

The context menu appears when I'm on the search results page. If I click on one of the event's values like ERROR in severity: ERROR then the context menu appears and gives three options. "Add to search", "Exclude from search", and "New search" with little icons that will open it in a new tab.
I guess it's under itsi. Here is the URL path:
/en-US/app/itsi/search
