Check if value is in sub search table result

Hi,
I need a way to check if a value is in a sub search table result.
for example I use the code that doesent work:

index=indexA groupID=*groupA* regression_target=*TargetA* job_type=run_job 
| search 
    [ search index=indexA  groupID=*groupA* regression_target=*TargetA* status=PASS job_type=batch 
    | dedup thumb_print 
    | fields thumb_print] 
| table thumb_print

I am trying to filter the 'thumb_print' field by the subsearch result. in the subsearch there are more results then the whole search.
by the data, it does not make any sense. am I doing something wrong?

thanks

Hi matansocher,

You can try the query below:

index=indexA groupID=groupA regression_target=TargetA job_type=run_job OR (status=PASS AND job_type=batch)
| dedup thumb_print
| table thumb_print

Sorry, I didnt know that a subsearch has a timeout of 60 seconds or a limit of 50000 results.
Thanks anyway

hey @matansocher

 index=indexA groupID=*groupA* regression_target=*TargetA* job_type=run_job 
 | search 
     [ search index=indexA  groupID=*groupA* regression_target=*TargetA* status=PASS job_type=batch 
     | dedup thumb_print 
     | return 100000 thumb_print] 
 | table thumb_print

Use return command
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/SearchReference/Return

100000 is the number of rows it can return.For a safer side put a high number. Also refer documentation for the same

Let me know if it helps!
