I have two search :
- 1. dbquery
- 2. dbquery

I want being able to compare the results in a postprocess , can I do that ?
I guess Postprocess module is not able to have two parent searches, and handle that...

Or should I use a search, with a join or append, and load the searches with there $searchId$s ?

like :
search1: | dbquery k "SELECT * from x"
search2: | dbquery j "SELECT * from z"
search3: loadjob $search1_id$ append [loadjob $search2_id$]

?

You're right in that you can't postprocess from two searches. I'd want to test your proposed approaches, but in theory either just appending to a search as a postprocess or loading the jobs should work.
