Resolution

If a saved search was created using the Data in Motion (DIM) search filters page, it will be editable and displayed as editable. For context, the term 'Editable' as used in this part of the interface refers to the ability to modify the search filter selections for a saved search. 

In contrast, a saved search created in the Analyzer cannot be edited outside the Analyzer; that is, it cannot be edited by modifying search filter selections in Data In Motion events section of the interface. Because of this, the Editable flag is not enabled for these searches and cannot be enabled. Instead, you need to open the search in question in the Analyzer and make your modifications there.
