splunk search head setup

I'm trying to setup a Splunk search head. Here is what I've done thus far.

Installed splunk app.

I've installed a copy of an application I've wrote under /opt/splunk/etc/apps on the search head.

I've run the following command on the indexer: ./splunk enable dist-search -auth admin:changeme and restarted the app.

I've run the following command on the search head splunk add search-server -host 10.10.10.123:8089 -auth admin:Mypassword -remoteUsername admin -remotePassword Mypassword

The search head initiates and the GUI for the app I've written appears. However, when I run commands from the search head to indexer, I get "No results found".

The same application works great on the indexer. What step(s) am I missing? Thanks in advance.
