This is the difference between a Host Search and a Host Timeline. A Host Search is an Investigate tool that allows you to view events by category, such as process executions, network connections, file writes, etc. A Host Timeline is an Investigate tool that allows you to view all events in chronological order, without any categorization. Both tools can be used for detection investigation and proactive hunting, depending on the use case and preference. You can access a Host Search from a detection or manually enter the host details. You can also populate the Host Timeline fields manually or from other pages in Falcon.

User Search is a search page that allows a threat hunter to search for user activity across endpoints and correlate it with other events. This can help differentiate testing, DevOPs, or general user activity from adversary behavior by identifying anomalous or suspicious user actions, such as logging into multiple systems, running unusual commands, or accessing sensitive files.

IP Search is an Investigate tool that allows you to look up information about external IPs only. It shows information such as geolocation, network connection events, detection history, etc. for each external IP address that has communicated with your hosts. It does not show information about internal IPs, suspicious IPs, or both internal and external IPs.

The Host Timeline is the Investigate tool that you would use to allow an analyst to view all events for a specific host. The Host Timeline shows a graphical representation of all events that occurred on a host within a specified time range. It allows an analyst to zoom in and out, filter by event type or name, and drill down into event details. The Bulk Timeline, the Host Search, and the Process Timeline are not Investigate tools that you would use to view all events for a specific host.

The table command is used to produce a list of all event occurrences along with selected fields such as the full path, time, username etc. It takes one or more field names as arguments and displays them in a tabular format. The fields command is used to keep or remove fields from search results, not to display them in a list. The distinct_count command is used to count the number of distinct values of a field, not to display them in a list. The values command is used to display a list of unique values of a field within each group, not to display all event occurrences.
