Splunk Search

Why does my search only return one event?

I have joined two searches together. My search only returns one event that everything matches up but there are more than just one.
This is my search:

source="C:\\Users\\ragate\\Desktop\\splunk\\LMCustomerRevLicense.csv" | join type=left substr('context.custom.dimensions{}.LicenseKey',4,7) [search source="c:\\users\\ragate\\desktop\\splunk\\jsondump.txt"] | eval LicenseKeyID=substr('context.custom.dimensions{}.LicenseKey',4,7) | where 'LicenseKeyID'='License Key Identifier' |

Any suggestions?

join type=outer fieldName

As opposed to

join type=outer substring(....

Like this

 source="C:\\Users\\ragate\\Desktop\\splunk\\LMCustomerRevLicense.csv" |eval LicenseKeyID=substr('context.custom.dimensions{}.LicenseKey',4,7)| join type=outer LicenseKeyID [search source="c:\\users\\ragate\\desktop\\splunk\\jsondump.txt]
