This is the correct answer because these two filters can help you limit the amount of data that Splunk retrieves from disk, which is the key to fast searching1. The _time filter allows you to specify a narrow time window for your search, which reduces the number of buckets that Splunk scans2. The index filter allows you to specify which index or indexes contain the data that you want to search, which reduces the number of files that Splunk reads3.
