Hi
I dont know why my eval command doesnt return any resulys

 `index` 
| lookup tutu.csv HOSTNAME as host output SITE 
| stats values(SITE) as Site, values(index) AS index  BY host 
| eval check=if(index="ai-toto*" ,"toto index only","All indexes") 
| search check="toto index only" 
| table host 

If I delete the eval comamnd I have results
I have done a workaround like this:

| stats values(SITE) as Site, dc(index) AS index BY host 
| where NOT index==4

It works but I would like to know why my original search doesnt works

  `index` 
 | lookup tutu.csv HOSTNAME as host output SITE 
 | stats values(SITE) as Site, values(index) AS index  BY host 
 | eval check=if(index="ai-toto*" ,"toto index only","All indexes") 
 | search check="toto index only" 
 | table host 

this query's index is multivalue.
so | eval check=if(index="ai-toto*" ,"toto index only","All indexes") is not work.
