@michoel thanks mate - i had reviewed n/query in the past and its good but still having full flexibity over search results to display or save or print - basically my idea is to have a function like join(keyid, search1, search2) should return all fields of search1 and matching results from search2, if a common template can be built it would save hell lot of time for analytical purposes, also if the resultant option can have savecsv, savepdf, showscreen, showlist etc. options it would be super - i am sure this can be done with the right mechancs
