Which command is used to limit the number of results returned from a search?

| limit=50
| head 50
| results 50
| return 50

The correct answer is: | head 50

The command used to limit the number of results returned from a search is "head." By using the "head" command followed by a number, such as 50, you instruct Splunk to return only the first 50 results from the search. This is particularly useful when dealing with large data sets where you may only need to review a subset of the data for analysis or reporting purposes. The "head" command works by taking the first N records from the results of the search command that precedes it in the pipeline. This allows users to quickly check the top results of a search without retrieving all the data, which can be more efficient. The other options listed do not represent valid Splunk commands for limiting result sets.
