Splunk Search

My search works when I run it manually, but why does it not produce results when I use it to populate a table?

index=main source=locations sourcetype=location_information  
                     | search * AND address=$token1$ OR address="LocationXYZ"
                     | table site_name, address, state, country

When I run this search manually, it works fine, but when I use it in a table, it doesn't do anything

  <table>
        <title>Location</title>
        <search>

          <default>*</default>
          <query>index=main source=locations sourcetype=location_information | search * AND address=$token1$ OR address="LocationXYZ" | table site_name, address, state, country </query>
        </search>

      </table>

I would like to use two tokens also:

search * AND address =$token1$ or address=$token2$

Try removing the search * and move the address search to base search. Like this

index=main source=locations sourcetype=location_information (address=$token1$ OR address="token2") | table site_name, address, state, country

Sorry, seems this is giving me all the rows, not just the one's selected by the token

Did you have quotes around your tokens? Like this?

index=main source=locations sourcetype=location_information (address="$token1$" OR address="$token2$") | table site_name, address, state, country
