Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. A computer system comprising:
a storage device having data and instructions stored thereon to implement an interface for iterative exploration of search data; and
a hardware processing unit communicatively coupled to the storage device and configured to execute the instructions to perform a plurality of operations including:
generating a first query directed toward a data set of raw data, the data set being stored on a data store accessible to one or more computing devices, wherein the data set comprises a plurality of time-stamped events extracted from the raw data, wherein the raw data is machine generated data;
generating a first query result information based on one or more events extracted from the data set in response to executing the first query;
displaying a first graphical representation comprising a visualization of the first query result information, wherein the first query comprises a dynamic reference to at least one prior query with a value that is subject to change, and further wherein changes to a result of the at least one prior query automatically triggers corresponding changes in the visualization of the first query result information;
generating a second query directed toward the data set;
generating a second query result information based on one or more events extracted from the data set in response to executing the second query; and
displaying a second graphical representation comprising a visualization of the second query result information and wherein the second query comprises a dynamic reference to the first query and wherein further the displaying comprises automatically triggering corresponding changes in the visualization of the second query result information responsive to changes to a result of the first query, wherein the dynamic reference is configured to enable the second query to inherit the result of the first query.
