Concept

A search can feed a token as well as a chart, which makes it part of the page's logic rather than only its content. That is what lets one panel react to what another found.

Why D

Splunk states that searches generate visualizations and other content in dashboards and forms, and that you can also use searches to implement dynamic or interactive behavior in a dashboard.
