A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A user has written a search they expect to run again next week. Which Save As option does Splunk describe for that?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
Saving a search turns a piece of typing into an object other people can find, schedule and build on. Which object you pick decides what can be done with it afterwards.
Why D
Splunk states that when you create a search you would like to run again, you can save the search as a report, which is one of the choices under the Save As menu in the Search app.
