Search 2 lists or search more than 1 lists at a time

Hey,
I was trying to search more than 1 list rather than
Adding the lists required into another smart list could have solved the problem I had.
Thanks "bloodymonster"

So AllList = List 1 + Lists 2 and adding
Alternatively you can just do the following search
list:"List 1" AND due:today AND NOT tag:dlgt AND NOT tag:x OR list:"List 2" AND due:today AND NOT tag:dlgt AND NOT tag:x
Where dlgt and x are tags that I don't want include in the list.

You could also get the same results via the following criteria:
(list:"List 1" OR list:"List 2") AND (due:today AND NOT tag:dlgt AND NOT tag:x)
Not a big difference, but this would be easier to manage if you decided to change either the included lists or the other criteria.

Is there a way to search a group of lists based on something other than the full list name? I use lists as projects (works best for me) and I would like to pull tasks from my 'work related' lists only.
Currently, I have marked all of my personal tasks with a specific ID tag and I can exclude those tasks. However, I would like to be able to group 20+ lists in a single query to focus on work tasks. It would be nice to eliminate the need to add tags to specific tasks to make this happen.
Thanks for any ideas.

It's possible to do this via the tagContains search operator, but this is not available for lists. (It may be worth organizing your tasks by tag and Smart List rather than by list to account for this, particularly if your projects change often.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to limit the amount of tagging required to maintain the system.
I appreciate the fast reply.
