I would like to search

index=main type=router OR type=switch OR type=firewall OR type=sysproxy ..

Instead i wanna do as below
test.csv
devicetype
router
switch
firewall
sysproxy
webproxy


index=main |search [|inputlookup test.csv |feilds devicetype]

It does not return the output. Can you please help how to get the results.

In you first search example, the field name appears to be type whereas in the .csv field, field name is devicetype For your subsearch to work, the two needs to be the same. So you could either rename the field in the .csv by editing it, or you could try your search like this

index=main |search [|inputlookup test.csv |rename devicetype AS type | fields type]

Since sundareshr was first to answer (in a comment), I'm demoting my answer to a comment. The solution is indeed correct, but you can shorten it a bit:

index=main [|inputlookup test.csv |rename devicetype AS type | fields type]

(oh, and I had a typo in my answer... Fixed now.)
