Query return value if NULL event

I have a query I'm working on where not all the values I feed it are in the index I am querying against.

For example suppose I have two emails, [email protected] and [email protected]

index=windows sourcetype=ActiveDirectory [email protected] OR [email protected] | dedup name

Currently only [email protected] is in the index. As a result I only return the Event for [email protected].

I'd like to have my query return two records for [email protected] and [email protected] even if there are no results for [email protected]. Something where the event is essentially blank except for the [email protected] value

Any thoughts out there?

Use append to add a blank record for each. Look at the makeresults command for one each way to do it.

index=windows sourcetype=ActiveDirectory [email protected] OR [email protected] 
| append [
    | makeresults 
    | eval name="[email protected] [email protected]" 
    | makemv name 
    | mvexpand name 
    | table name
    ]
| dedup name
