Hello.  
I am creating a dashboard with kibana.  
Is it possible to set a search statement that is frequently used for a button, etc., and search for that condition when it is pressed?

Thank you.

You could save the commonly used search as a filter on a dashboard and duplicate it with that filter set. Then in the initial filter you could create a markdown visualization that will take you to the dashboard with the frequently used search.

Hi Marius\_Dragomir,

Thanks for the reply.  
I was able to create a link using markdown.  
Does kibana's markdown visualization have any plans for tabs or other markdowns?

Thank you

Not that I'm aware of. But if you have an ER, could you please post it in the Kibana repo: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) together with an example use case so that people can take it in consideration for further improvements?  
Thank you!
