• The default time range of the search - upon execution for the first time, this will be the time that will be used.

• An indication of whether or not this search is to be included in the analysis that the Analytics engine performs on logs. A severity of None excludes this search from the analysis that the Analytics engine performs on logs. A severity of Low, Medium, or High indicates that the Analytics engine is to include this search in the analysis it performs on logs.

• Visibility - users may select whether the search is private (visible to the user who saved it) only, or public (available to all users).
