Skip join entirely (it has inescapable limits) and do this

my saearch OR my second search | eval joiner=coalesce(column1, column2) | stats values(*) AS* BY joiner | fields - joiner

Just try it before you think it won't work.

Hi gibba,
no you cannot use an OR condition in a join.
What's the problem values in column1 and column2?
if this is the problem you could use an eval with coalesce function

my search 
| eval column=coalesce(column1,column2) 
| join column [ my second search]

Bye.
