The Sideview Search module
Let's start with a simple search:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<view template="dashboard.html">

<!-- add sideview -->
<module layoutPanel="appHeader" name="SideviewUtils"/>

<!-- chrome -->
<label>Chapter 8 - Sideview One</label>
<module name="AccountBar" layoutPanel="appHeader"/>
<module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
<module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">
<param name="filter">*</param>
<param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
<param name="maxSize">1</param>
</module>

<!-- search -->
<module
name="Search"
autoRun="True"
group="Chapter 8 - Sideview One"
layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
<param name="earliest">-1h</param>
<param name="search">source="impl_splunk_gen" | top user</param>

<!-- chart -->
<module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
<param name="charting.chart">pie</param>
<module name="JSChart"/>
</module>
</module>
</view>

This dashboard renders identically to the first panel, previously described in
the Building a drilldown to a custom query section. There are two things to notice
in this example:

1. The SideviewUtils module is needed to include the code needed by

all Sideview Utils apps.

2. We use the alternative Search module as a replacement for the

HiddenSearch module to illustrate our first SideviewUtils module.
In this simplistic example, HiddenSearch would still work.
