Why does the Cluster search command return 0 events?

[thisissplunk]

When I use the cluster command in its simplest form to a complicated query, it returns 0 results. I have no idea how to go about troubleshooting this. The index and sourcetype I'm using definitely has plenty of events in it. Nothing I've tried has worked.

How do I tell if the command is still a thing? How do I tell if it's running in my query but just not returning anything... etc.

I have no idea what was happening, but the same exact query is returning results now.
