Generation of search commands via text-based selections

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:

• causing display of a table that includes a set of events, wherein each event of the set of events corresponds to raw machine data and the table includes:
• one or more columns, each column comprising data items of the set of events;
• and
• a plurality of rows forming cells with the one or more columns, wherein each row of the plurality of rows corresponds to an event of the set of events, each cell displays a textual representation of the data item of a corresponding column, and the textual representation includes a least a portion of raw machine data of the corresponding event;
• receiving a selection within a first cell of the cells of a subset of the textual representation in the first cell wherein the first cell is associated with a first column of the one or more columns and a first row of the plurality of rows;
• receiving a selection of a first option from a plurality of options displayed based on the selection within the first cell, the first option corresponding to the selected subset of the textual representation;
• and
• generating one or more search commands within a search query, wherein the one or more search commands are based on the selected subset of the textual representation and the selected first option.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium, coupled with the processor device, having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor device, perform actions comprising:
• causing display of a table that includes a set of events, wherein each event of the set of events corresponds to raw machine data and the table includes:
• one or more columns, each column comprising data items of the set of events;
• and
• a plurality of rows forming cells with the one or more columns, wherein each row of the plurality of rows corresponds to an event of the set of events, each cell displays a textual representation of the data item of a corresponding column, and the textual representation includes a least a portion of raw machine data of the corresponding event;
• receiving a selection within a first cell of the cells of a subset of the textual representation in the first cell, wherein the first cell is associated with a first column of the one or more columns and a first row of the plurality of rows;
• receiving a selection of a first option from a plurality of options displayed based on the selection within the first cell, the first option corresponding to the selected subset of the textual representation;
• and
• generating one or more search commands within a search query, wherein the one or more search commands are based on the selected subset of the textual representation and the selected first option.
