Are you looking for something like this? Just try this example.

<form version="1.1">
  <label>Test</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="multiselect" token="product_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Product types</label>
      <choice value="*">All</choice>
      <default>*</default>
      <prefix>(</prefix>
      <suffix>)</suffix>
      <initialValue>*</initialValue>
      <valuePrefix>DB_Product="*</valuePrefix>
      <valueSuffix>*"</valueSuffix>
      <delimiter> OR </delimiter>
      <fieldForLabel>DB_Product</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>DB_Product</fieldForValue>
      <search>
        <query>| makeresults count=10 
                | eval a=1 
                | accum a
                | eval DB_Product="DB_PR_"+a | table DB_Product</query>
      </search>
      <change>
        <condition match="$form.product_token$==&quot;*&quot;">
          <eval token="tmp">$form.product_token$</eval>
          <eval token="select_count">mvcount('form.product_token')</eval>
        </condition>
        <condition>
          <eval token="tmp">mvcount('form.product_token')</eval>
          <eval token="select_count">mvcount('form.product_token')</eval>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults count=10 
                | eval a=1 
                | accum a
                | eval DB_Product="DB_PR_"+a | table DB_Product 
| search $product_token$
| eval count="$select_count$"</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
