After the search, use a regex extraction like rex or an eval function like match to check the presence of the keyword in the source field. And make correction for any case case sensitive matching.
Then you can have a field that will contain or not the matching.

example :


mysearch | rex field=source "(?(?i)(project))" | table _time found_project source _raw

OR

mysearch | eval source_lowercase=lower(source) | eval found_project=match(source_lowercase,project) | table _time found_project source _raw
