REST vs. Normal Search

[itsmevic]

What is the difference between a normal search in Splunk and a search that incorporates the REST command?

[richgalloway]

One of them uses the rest command and the other doesn't. There's no material difference.

[itsmevic]

Would the REST command pull more information than a regular search?

[richgalloway]

It shouldn't. Did you have a specific rest command in mind?

[itsmevic]

No, nothing in particular just the standard | REST ... Okay, thank you kindly for your input.
