Counting the number of events per source type

Identifying the most recent user who logged in and then finding all their activities

No events, because the sub-search returns a field that is not used in the outer search

All web requests from user IPs that appear in the threat_intel sourcetype

All events from the threat_intel sourcetype

What does the outer search receive from a sub-search?
