Accounting for weekends and holidays

I'm trying to come up with a method of accounting for weekends and holidays. Tell me, how should I implement this algorithm?
Real case: we need to catch response on the application after 2 working days subject to weekends and holidays.

There is the idea to implement it with a lookup, however, will have to manually affix the holidays every year. I would like to automate this process completely.

Hi AlexeyPy,
for week-ends you can add to your searches

date_wday="sunday" OR date_wday="saturday"

instead to manage holydays the only way is to create a lookup containing holyday dates and use it to filter your searches.

your_search (date_wday="sunday" OR date_wday="saturday" OR [ | inputlookup holydays.csv | fields date ] )

putting attention on the date format that must be the same for _time and your lookup.

Bye.
Giuseppe
