Splunk Search

Search term in table results

Ok maybe it is too much Splunk today.  Whatever it is I can not for the life of me remember how to do this.

I am doing a basic search on some logs.  I want to show the search term in the table results.  The term is being queried out of the _raw

 

index=myindex sourcetype=mystuff Environment=thisone "THE_TERM"
| top Environment by userid
|  table  Environment, userid 

 



Where and how to I add "THE_TERM" to the table results?

If the search term is a fixed string then just add it to the table command.

| table Environment, userid, "THE_TERM"

Unfortunately  it is not a fixed term or field.   It is just a random term for a search.  Similar to using a search in MS Word for "FOO" in a 10,000 page document.  Now I am trying to figure out how to make that useful in the table as a result.  I have tried an input file this morning but not familiar with working with that.

The term is being queried out of the _raw.  Which is also the field "Log"

Thank you, but I was wanting to learn where the random text "THE_TERM" comes from and how it gets into the query.
