How to search and compare the same data across multiple KV stores?

Greetings Splunk Answers,
I have 4 CSV's containing similar data (usernames, first/last names, job roles) all of which I have imported into individual KV Stores (and separate collections).
I need to search a username and see if it is any/all of the KV Stores.

Does anyone have experience searching across multiple KV Stores for the same data?

Cheers!

Try

| inputlookup kv1 | inputlookup append=t kv2 | inputlookup append=t kv3 | inputlookup append=t kv4|search username=<username_to_search>
