Splunk Search

If I have two different searches without common fields, how can combine them and display a single result?

I got a strange situation here. I have two different searches as follows.

search 1:

index=* [ search index=_internal os=Windows sourcetype=splunkd 
| stats count by hostname 
| rename hostname as host 
| fields host ] 
| stats values(source) as sources by host

Which displays all the Windows hosts and sources of them for all the indexes.

And I have another search as follows which displays the results including Windows and also other operating systems which satisfies the same search condition.

search 2:

index=* | regex _raw!=".2016-\d{2}-\d{2}." | stats values(sources) as sources by host

Now I'm looking to write a search which displays the search 2 results from only the Windows hosts..I'm not sure if we have to include the search 1 for getting required result?

Any suggestions would be great and points will be awarded for the best answer

Try this

index=* 
[ search index=_internal os=Windows sourcetype=splunkd 
  | stats count by hostname 
  | rename hostname as host 
  | fields host ] 
| regex _raw!=".2016-\d{2}-\d{2}." 
| stats values(source) as sources by host

what if I want to display all the sourcetypes too for each host besides the sources?

You can add that too. Like this

 index=* 
 [ search index=_internal os=Windows sourcetype=splunkd 
   | stats count by hostname 
   | rename hostname as host 
   | fields host ] 
 | regex _raw!=".2016-\d{2}-\d{2}." 
 | stats values(source) as sources values(sourcetype) as sourcetypes by host
