What kind of "search mode" is the alert running?

[dflegl]

Hi everyone, 

I've found in the history similar questions and answer like "Search modes are just for the UI". But doesn't it really matter? So if I create and tune the search in the Verbose mode how exactly will Splunk run the query? What kind of "search mode"? 
I can't find that answer anywhere even in the docu page ( https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/Search/Changethesearchmode )

Thanks a lot for some details.

Hi @dflegl,

usually alerts run in Smart Mode, but you can force (without any advantage!) the Verbose Mode.

Ciao.
