Hi FloydATC,
take a look at this wiki article about where do I configure my Splunk settings, this is a good starting point to learn where you should configure settings.
As you are configuring searching stuff, this will be on the indexer or a search head if you have one.
Also change only one option/stanza at a time, don't forget to | extract reload=t (this reload props and transforms) or restart splunk and check the result and continue after that.
Some changes in transforms.conf like LOOKAHEAD, DEST_KEY, WRITE_META, DEFAULT_VALUE, REPEAT_MATCH will only apply to new data/events not your old/already indexed events.
But since you set DELIMS and FIELDS which are search operators this will be used for all data.
If you feel completely lost, remove everything and start with new empty/fresh props.conf and transforms.conf.
hope this helps to get you going ...
cheers, MuS
