Splunk Search

Why am I getting no results using Splunk JAVA SDK to run a search query with the stats command?

I am trying to use the JAVA Splunk SDK to run a query and return the results. I can get the events of the search returned if I use the search query:

String mySearch = "search index=auth \"Start:*.*\"";

However, when I try to use the stats commands with the above query, I get no results:

String mySearch = "search index=auth \"Start:*.*\" | stats count by TypeOfService";

I have tried various approaches, but unable to get the results.

Here is my latest code example:

public void search() {
    String mySearch = "search index=auth \"Start:*.*\" | stats count by TypeOfService";
    JobArgs jobArgs = new JobArgs();
    jobArgs.setEarliestTime("-1m");
    jobArgs.setLatestTime("now");
    Job job = service.getJobs().create(mySearch,jobArgs);

    // Wait for the job to finish
    while (!job.isDone()) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    // Specify JSON as the output mode for results
    JobResultsArgs resultsArgs = new JobResultsArgs();
    resultsArgs.setOutputMode(JobResultsArgs.OutputMode.JSON);

    // Display results in JSON using ResultsReaderJson
    InputStream results = job.getResults(resultsArgs);
    ResultsReaderJson resultsReader=null;
    try {
        resultsReader = new ResultsReaderJson(results);
        HashMap<String, String> event;
        System.out.println("\nFormatted results from the search job as JSON\n");
        while ((event = resultsReader.getNextEvent()) != null) {
            for (String key: event.keySet())
                System.out.println("   " + key + ":  " + event.get(key));
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {

        try {
            resultsReader.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The problem was related to the TypeOfService in the "stats count by TypeOfService" clause. The permissions on the field extraction TypeOfService was private and specific to an APP. I updated the permissions to Global (All apps), and was able to get the expected results.
