Splunk Search

Why doesn't my base search query work?

I wrote this base search query:

host=NETWEBA* sourcetype="WinEventLog:Application" AND ApplicationSource="/jpw*" AND "ErrorGUID" | fields OuterExceptionType

And I extended this query to get the top 5 exceptions

stats count by OuterExceptionType  AS "Outer_Exception_Type"| sort - "Outer_Exception_Type"

But it returns no results whereas if I don't use a base search it works fine?

Not sure about field name changing but can you please try this?

stats count by OuterExceptionType  | sort - OuterExceptionType  

OR

stats count by OuterExceptionType  | sort - OuterExceptionType  | rename OuterExceptionType as  "Outer_Exception_Type"
