you must update your Role(s) to include that index as part of the "Indexes searched by default."
In UI, Go to

 Settings>>Access controles>>Roles>>Select specific role>>Scroll down to "Indexes searched by default">>include your index>>Click SAVE

It will update authorize.conf for specific role
and now you can search by sourcetype also.

It looks like you don't have index specified in srchIndexesDefault in authorize.conf for specific role, so in that case when you use index=abc you will able to search but when you type sourcetype=xyz it will try to search in indexes which is given in srchIndexesDefault. If you don't provide any index in srchIndexesDefault in authorize.conf for particular role then it will not display any result when you run sourcetype=xyz query.
