Getting Data In

pipe in srchFilter

I would like to apply a dedup to all searches performed by users in a certain role. Is there a way to do this with the srchFilter option? I have tried setting this to "| dedup _raw" but it seems this creates unbalanced parentheses in my query.

Just a little background: I have indexers across 2 sites with data being replicated by forwarders for redundancy for one index. I'm trying to avoid duplicate results in that index when distributing the search across all indexers.

Search filters can only contain argument to the "search" command: ANDs/ORs/NOTs of keywords and fields.

Ok, so that's the anti-solution. Is there another way to accomplish this?
