With exact match and run anywhere search query

Ok then you need the following to be added to your existing search

| makeresults
| eval type="abc,xyzabc,abcdef,xyzabcdef"
| makemv type delim="," 
| mvexpand type
| replace "abc" with "123" in type

Or else

| makeresults
| eval type="abc,xyzabc,abcdef,xyzabcdef"
| makemv type delim="," 
| mvexpand type
| eval type=replace(type,"^abc$","123")

| makeresults | eval message= "Happy Splunking!!!"

| eval type=replace(type,"abc","123")

this condition replaces all the pattern with abc. i want only with exact match "abc".

for example if fields value with "abcefg" it matches and getting replaced with 123

So try this

| eval type=replace(type,"^abc$","123")

You can also try as per previous comment.

| replace "abc" with "123" in type

@premranjithj, your question is not clear, please elaborate and add as much information as possible. What is the data you have (mock/dummy) along with field name? Also what is the query you have tried so far?

i have list of fields
1.abc
2.bbc
3.abc
4.ggh
5.usb

if i a field has value abc its should be replaced with 123. other fields can have the data as it is.

Is the field name abc or the value of the field abc? If it is second case what is the field name?
