Comments

actually, you should be able to pipe this search to further search parameters, and also use the reverse command ( http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Reverse ) to accomplish some of this.

hi Supersleepwalker: i suggest you file an enhancement request with the Support team--this will get passed to Product Management for consideration.

I want to know how I can search my history. I'd like to be able to do a reverse search, like in bash.
