Splunk Web allows you to set segmentation for search results. While this has nothing to do with index-time segmentation, search-time segmentation in Splunk Web affects browser interaction and can speed up search results.

To set search-result segmentation:

1. Perform a search. Look at the results.
2. Click Format after the set of events is returned.
3. In the Click Selection dropdown box, choose from the available options: full, inner, or outer. The default is "full".

You can configure the meaning of these dropdown options, as described in "Set the segmentation for event data".
