those are open strings. try this:
index=myindex server="server1234" OR server="server1235" OR server="server1236" OR server="server1237" OR server="server1238" | stats count(_raw) by server
or if you have splunk 6.6:
index=myindex server IN ("server1234" ,"server1235","server1236", "server1237", "server1238") | stats count(_raw) by server

@cmerriman - I believe you are missing a close paren in the splunk 6.6 example.
