In Splunk, highlighted search terms usually indicate what type of results?

Highlighted search terms in Splunk indicate matching search results. When you perform a search in Splunk and include specific keywords, those keywords are highlighted in the results to show which events match the search criteria you've set. This visual highlighting helps users quickly identify relevant data and understand how it relates to their queries.

The presence of highlighted search terms means that these terms are directly relevant and found within the events being displayed, facilitating easier analysis of the data. This feature is particularly useful when working with large datasets, as it allows users to focus on the pertinent parts of the information returned in the search results.
