What is necessary for a field to be categorized as "interesting" within search results?

A field is categorized as "interesting" within search results primarily based on its ability to return significant results that reveal insights or patterns in the data. The threshold of returning results greater than 20% indicates that the field provides sufficient information to be considered noteworthy or pertinent to the analysis being conducted. This concept aligns with the need for data to be meaningful; if a field provides insights for more than 20% of the events in a search, it can be deemed relevant for further examination and categorization.

While there are other elements at play regarding what makes a field interesting, the focus on quantitative criteria—such as the percentage of results—highlights the importance of impact and relevance in data analysis. This approach helps users prioritize their exploration of fields that can yield actionable intelligence based on statistical significance, ensuring that the search process remains efficient and productive.
