Can we search keywords in Splunk?
Is field name restricted to 15 characters only?
How can I name fields with more than 15 characters?

Hi rahulrwt23,
to search keywords use brackets (").
you can use more than 15 chars.
You can use the name you like, remember that to use spaces in field names isn't a good idea, anyway you can do it using brackets (").
Bye.
