on Kibana (v8.15.2, but prior i was on 8.8.2) - how do you get a search phrase (ie typed into the search bar) to persist across pages? (ie either across different dashboards, or even across different pages of the same dashboard?).

I do know how to get Filters to persist , but i also dont see a way to go from a search phrase -\> a filter (without ofcouse recreating the filter from scratch, to match the search phrase).

(chatGPT says: "Once the search results load, look for the _filter pill that appears below the search bar_ with your search criteria. This pill represents your search as a filter."

**however i dont see this "Filter pill" anywhere near my search phrase**

screen cap of what im referring to:
