Hi, from query below I want to filter the results by fieldname matching pattern and fieldsummary should only return the text matching the search string from post result set, my text input is $filter$, how can this query be modified to return data that matches $filter$ ?

environment=test sourcetype = asp afi | fieldsummary maxvals=10

environment=test sourcetype = asp afi 
| fieldsummary maxvals=10
| table  $filter$ 

you should do care token's value.

filter is only for the fieldname matches, above query is working for $*$ , not working for other filters

Found it, filter needs to move before fieldsummary
environment=test sourcetype = asp afi | fields $filter$ |
| fieldsummary maxvals=10
