Like this

your base search | eval time=strftime(_time, "%H:%M") | table _time time 

*UPDATED based on comment*

your base search | addinfo | eval duration=info_max_time-info_min_time | eval dur_formatted=tostring(duration, "duration") | table dur*

actually displaying this in seconds would work better.

So you want to display the duration of the search? Are you displaying it in a dashboard?

So if I do a search from 8AM to 9AM I would like to see the difference in seconds, 3600
