Where my Fields at in Splunk 7.0? (Homie!)

I've created some field extractions from sourcetypes such as syslog and access_common on my search head. These are all inline fields and most are regex based. When I perform a general search such as sourcetype=syslog I see all of my fields under "Interesting Fields" fine I even moved them up to 'Selected Fields" that works fine.

When I add to my search such as sourcetype=syslog internal_src_ip=10.89.X.X OR internal_src_ip=10.89.Y.Y my field extractions DO NOT show up. And I can't specify them in the command line I checked all configs such as permissions and nothing seems to be hindering that.

I have the same extractions in Splunk 6.5 and my field extractions do show up when I perform advanced searches and my field extractions do show up in the "Interesting Fields" and "Selected Fields".

So is this quirk? I have been in google and splunk answers recently so this is kinda tricky to search.

Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.

Are you searching in "Verbose mode"? Also you can check with "extract" command. One question, what you put in field extraction, can you give sample?

Yes I tested all the modes, fast, smart, and verbose.

THe field extraction is: (?i).*? (?P\w+.[a-z_-]+.\w+.\w+.\w+)(?= )

This extracts websites from CISCO syslogs.

So the text field is muttering up the REGEX bellow not sure why. but after the ?P is sslsite

[cisco_syslog]
TZ = UTC
EXTRACT-sslsite = "(?i).*? (?P\w+.[a-z_-]+.\w+.\w+.\w+)(?= )"

Sorry but why you are searching sourcetype=syslog, you should search sourcetype= cisco_syslog

That was an example when I first started the question. I am using sourcetype=cisco_syslog.
