populatingSearch vs search?

[marco_sulla]

What's the difference between

 <populatingSearch fieldForValue="user" fieldForLabel="user">
    <![CDATA[QUERY]]>
</populatingSearch>

and

  <search>
      <query>QUERY</query>
  </search>

and where can I find the documentation about?

Hi amrco_sulla,

the difference is that populatingSearch is deprecated and you should use search now. See the docs about this http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#populatingSearc...

cheers, MuS
