I think like this you make you union search without worry about SQL
injection :
results = db(db.table1.field1 ==
'%{0}%'.format(form.vars.search)).select(db.table1.field1.with_alias('searchfield'))
|
db(db.table2.field2 ==
'%{0}%'.format(form.vars.search)).select(db.table2.field2.with_alias('searchfield'))
You may want to play with & and | depending if you want include duplicate
or not...
Though, I am not sure about you database design if you need to do such
thing since having the name of differents user host in table name is
smelling, I would rather add a column in one of the table indicating which
one between the 2 persons the host is own by and combine all the records
into that single "normalized" table...
