Splunk Search

How do I add fields from a lookup table to my search event?

I have a lookup table geo-lookup.csv which has data in the format:
IP, Coordinates, Location.

My search has the field ipAddress which is used as the filter to match the IP field in the table. I want the Location field to be added to the search events for the matching ipAddress field.

I'm using the command:
base search | lookup geo-lookup IP as ipAddress OUTPUTNEW Location as location

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
All my permissions and lookup definitions are configured correctly.

@angshul - make sure you mention exact name with csv extension for your lookup.
base search | lookup geo-lookup.csv IP as ipAddress OUTPUTNEW Location as location
