Hi @surekhasplunk ,

you have two choices:

  • join: easier to implement but slower,
  • stats: less easy but quicker, I prefer this!

using Join:

your_search_1 
| join name [ search your_search_2 | rename fullname AS name ]
| table rule result name department address

using stats:

your_search_1 OR your_search_2
| rename fullname AS name
| stats values(rule) AS rule values(result) AS result values(department) AS department values(address) AS address By name

Ciao.

Giuseppe
