A complex search is used to perform one or more complex operations on simple search results, and to summarize these results in a table for convenient analysis. The basis of the complex search structure is the pipe character (|), which indicates to XpoSearch to input the results of the search preceding the pipe to the complex search following the pipe.
The general syntax of a complex search is as follows:
search query | [function | [group] | [view]] ([function | [group] | [view]])...
This chapter provides you with a reference to all the search commands available for your use in a complex search, including their syntax, description, and examples of use. You can also build complex search queries using a combination of these search commands. Complex search queries that are executed in the XpoSearch console, can be visualized as gadgets in XpoLog Dashboards.
Use case examples of such commands are provided in Complex Search Use Case Examples.
