Splunk Search

Why is Search not working but search for NOT != does work?

Path Finder

Hi All,

I am doing a very simple search over All Time of: 

 

 

 

index=index=orafin sourcetype=ORAFIN2

 

 

 

It returns 26 rows and, as this shows, all have a transaction_type value:

If I then select D it adds that to the search but retuns NO rows:

Oddly if I change the search to a double negative  I get my data:

KeithH_2-1649368798565.png

Whats going on?

Hoping to be enlightened,

Keith
