Splunk Search Bar User Design UXD

[inventsekar]

Hi All, 

One basic thought(issue) on Splunk Search Bar UXD - User Experience Design:

1. on the Splunk Search Bar, enter a basic search "index=test1", then choose time picker to 15mins, then choose fast mode, then if you press "Enter" button, the search still wont run. you have to manually mouse hover above the search button and click Run button.  okies, this is at least fine. 

2. After running first search, now leave the search as it is(index=test1) and then on time picker choose 60mins, the search will run "without" clicking Run button.  

3. on this 2nd search, after choosing timepicker(the search will be running now), if you want to switch between search modes, you have to "stop/kill" the search and then choose a search mode. when you selected search mode, it will run the search without clicking Run button. 

Hope you guys understand this User Experience issue, pls provide your views, thanks.

thoughts:

1. "Enter" button press should run searches. (Mouse Click OR Enter Button Click both should be allowed to run searches)

2. Modification of "Search Mode" and "TimePicker" - both should be allowed, before running the search.
