Splunk Search

How to rename fields in a subsearch and keep results of the original field name?

I have a subsearch query that uses a wildcard keyword list as an inputlookup to find filenames that contain a keyword.

I then rename the resulting filenames as keyword to do a reverse lookup to output the keyword that matched the filename.

The problem is I want to list out the filename and the keyword that matched in the filename...

For example>>>

index=foo sourcetype=bar
[|inputlookup keyword-list.csv |fields keyword |rename keyword as FileName] 
| rename FileName as keyword 
| lookup keyword-list.csv keyword OUTPUT keyword as Matched 
| stats values(Matched)

From this query my results are the keywords:
(for example)

*jedi*
*sith*
*falcon*

Here are the FileName results containing the keyword

 index=foo sourcetype=bar
    [|inputlookup keyword-list.csv |fields keyword |rename keyword as FileName] 
    | stats values(FileName)

"D:/Rey Skywalker/jedi/report.pdf"
"D:/Kilo Ren/sith/report.pdf"
"E:/starship/falcon/rebel/report.pdg"

I was requested to list both together in the results... like this

*jedi*    "D:/Rey Skywalker/jedi/report.pdf"        
*sith*    "D:/Kilo Ren/sith/report.pdf"
*falcon*  "E:/starship/falcon/rebel/report.pdg"

Any advice greatly appreciated, thank you!

 index=foo sourcetype=bar
 [|inputlookup keyword-list.csv |fields keyword |rename keyword as FileName] 
 | eval keyword = FileName
 | lookup keyword-list.csv keyword OUTPUT keyword as Matched 
 | stats values(Matched) by FileName

I think it ’s okay if you don’t rename
