hello everybody,

i'm trying to fetch if a value existing on index or not.

after search result i get a new filtering fields and i want to know if i can use |eval test=if(index,"exist","notexist").

my exemple search::
index=A
|field blabla1 blabla2 blabla3
[dbquery "DB" "select..........." |fields + blabla]
[dbquery "DB" "select .........." |fields + blabla2]

|eval test=if(index=B,blabla3,"KO") ==> here is my problem

if any body have any idea thx

The problem is that you have explicitly discluded the thing you are testing. Your search starts out with index=A so all of your initial results set will have ONLY index values of A. You then later say if(index=B) which will ALWAYS be false. You need to start out with something broader like (index=A) OR (index=B).

Can you please explain more about the problem? Try to create an example using _internal index.
