…ification Add a new section to Pin a Search covering the banner that suggests running a slow log search in the background, the resulting pinned search and confirmation message, and the completion email notification, with screenshots. Fix heading levels (H4 to H2) across the page, and add a Service release note for the feature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@JV0812 the feature uses the pinned search functionality, but is not associated with it
both are independent of each other.

Also we should mention that

Reviewed the background-search section and the release note. One broken in-page anchor to fix before merge; the rest are minor/optional. The H4 -> H2 change is correct and matches the sibling docs in search-page/. — via Claude Code

| If a log search's elapsed time exceeds about one minute, a banner appears above the search results with the message "This search is taking longer than expected" and a **Run in Background** link.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/search/get-started-search/search-page/run-search-in-background-banner.png')} alt="Banner suggesting you run a slow search in the background" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="800" /> | ||

| Click **Run in Background** to pin the search, the same as [pinning a search manually](#pin-andunpin-a-search). A message confirms where you can find the search later.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/search/get-started-search/search-page/background-search-pinned-message.png')} alt="Message confirming your background search is available as a pinned search" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="800" /> |

Broken anchor: #pin-andunpin-a-search doesn't match any heading. The target heading is ## Pin and unpin a search, which Docusaurus slugifies to pin-and-unpin-a-search. Update the link to [pinning a search manually](#pin-and-unpin-a-search). (The build check passes because it doesn't validate in-page hash fragments.)
Optional: consider bolding the UI string as This search is taking longer than expected rather than wrapping it in straight quotes, to match how UI text is styled elsewhere in these docs. — via Claude Code

| **Limitations:** | ||
| * This automatic prompt only applies to log searches. It does not appear for metrics searches. | ||
| * The banner does not appear if you have already reached the limit of ten pinned searches for your user. |

Minor consistency: this page already states the cap as "a limit of ten pinned searches per user" (line 16). Suggest "...reached the limit of ten pinned searches per user." here too instead of "for your user". — via Claude Code

Optional: this description is ~178 characters, which will be truncated in search/social snippets (~150–160 is the practical limit). Consider tightening, e.g. "Pin a search — or let Sumo Logic prompt you automatically — to run it in the background, and get an email when it completes." (adjust punctuation per the no-em-dash convention). — via Claude Code
