Hi,

I have enabled Kiabana's saved search feture. But I have kibana rendered in Iframe in my app. I want to use saved search in a manner that on clicking a button in my ui, the internal method of kibana's gets called and it saves the query entered by user in my custom searchbox. I am using trying to override the behavior using custom plugin. Please suggest how to do that.

Hey @Rohit_Gupta1,

Hmm I think it can be quite tricky to do something like that. I see that [https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin](https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin) did something very similar, so you probably want to go through their implementation and adapt it to your needs where feasible.

Also check out [Controls Visualization](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/controls.html), if your requirements are not very complex it may work well for you as well.

Best,  
Oleg
