Save a search

editA saved search persists your current view of Discover for later retrieval and reuse. You can reload a saved search into Discover, add it to a dashboard, and use it as the basis for a visualization.
A saved search includes the query text, filters, and optionally, the time filter. A saved search also includes the selected columns in the document table, the sort order, and the current index pattern.
Read-only access
editWhen you have insufficient privileges to save searches, the following indicator in Kibana will be displayed and the Save button won’t be visible. For more information on granting access to Kibana see Granting access to Kibana.

editTo save the current search:
- Click Save in the toolbar.
- Enter a name for the search and click Save.
To import, export, and delete saved searches, open the main menu, then click Stack Management > Saved Objects.
