Hi,

is it possible to share (or embed) a search with only the search bar and none of the menu options (discover, visualize, etc...)?  
It seems that if you embed the search in a dashboard you also lose the search box.

Thanks,  
Isaac

I am using Kibana 4.4.1.

Interested in a feature where sharing a link with search box and no Menu.  
Is it available OR what are steps we need to do ?

@isaacpm So, are you trying to embed a search result externally, or are you trying to include a search result in a dashboard? If you're just trying to embed a search reasult externally, you can try to put `embed=true` into the query string.

ie: `http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/discover?embed=true&_g=(refreshInterval:(display:Off,pause:!f,value:0),time:(from:now-15m,mode:quick,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(_source),index:%27logstash-*%27,interval:auto,query:(query_string:(analyze_wildcard:!t,query:jpg)),sort:!(%27@timestamp%27,desc))`

This will hide the top navigation, however AFAIK, there isn't a way to include a search box in the individual panel on a dashboard.

Also, this is more of an undocumented feature, so I don't know how long it'll be around or if it meets your needs.
