How would you add the web index to the current search parameter?

(index=security OR index=web) "failed password"
(index=web AND index=security) "failed password"
index=web "failed password"
index=security "failed password" AND index=web

The correct answer is: (index=security OR index=web) "failed password"

The choice that correctly adds the web index to the current search parameter is the first option: (index=security OR index=web) "failed password". This choice effectively combines two indexes—security and web—using the logical OR operator, which means the search will include results from either index that contain the phrase "failed password". This approach provides a broader search, capturing relevant events from both indexes simultaneously, which can be particularly useful when you want to analyze incidents that could be logged across different areas or applications. In contrast, the other options either restrict the search inappropriately or do not include both indexes together effectively. For instance, using logical AND would mean that the search results would only show entries that exist in both the security and web indexes at the same time, which is likely not the intended goal. Additionally, some options do not explicitly mention both indexes, which doesn't fulfill the requirement of incorporating the web index into the search.
