Limit search universe to certain search peer

Hi, Is there a parameter to limit the search universe to a particular search peer when executing the search in the search head? E.g.

| metadata type=hosts SearchPeerName=MyIndexer_1

Thanks in advance!

Probably not for metadata search, but it works for regular search.

splunk_server=mysearchpeer1
