What is the Advanced Search field used for?

The Advanced Search field in IBM QRadar is used for running Ariel Query Language (AQL) searches. Here's a detailed explanation:

Ariel Query Language (AQL): AQL is a query language used in QRadar to search and retrieve event and flow data from the Ariel database. It is similar to SQL but tailored for the specific needs of QRadar's data structure.

Advanced Search Field: The advanced search field provides a user interface for crafting and executing AQL queries. This allows users to perform detailed and complex searches to analyze specific patterns, behaviors, or events in their security data.

Functionality: Using AQL, users can specify criteria for selecting and filtering data, allowing for precise and comprehensive searches. This is essential for deep-dive investigations and custom reports.

The ability to run AQL searches gives analysts powerful tools to extract meaningful insights from their security data.
