Hi,

I have just started working with Splunk 6. I have created a Data Model for my data source and have added some field extraction/regular expression attributes to it. As per the knowledge that I have till now from documentation, these data model/attributes are used in Pivot reports. Is is possible to use them in regular search some how?

I don't want to again have field extraction setup explicitly.

Appreciate your help here.

There is a "pivot" search command that should allow you to do anything you can do in the pivot interface:
