The term inline search only has context with dashboard XML code. It means that instead of referencing a saved search with search ref you imbed the SPL search string directly inside of the XML. The best documentation on this is here:

Thanks Woodcock, I got much clarity from the article.

The search query you shared in the other post is listing all the inline searches executed within a SH Cluster :
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/551415/identify-which-dashboards-are-using-inline-searche.html

It is giving me 2300 search results for inline searches, its just excluding 6 searches may be those were referred as saved searches.

Hi woodcock, may I know if it is possible to refresh the inline search from the original data source with a click? Does the auto-refresh interval setting actually work on this Inline Search?
Thank you
