Setup a custom state on the page that is of the same type of data that the two RGās are supposed to show. Make the first RG show results based on a search but leave the datasource empty and make the second RG show the custom state (even though the custom state is a single item you can use it as the datasource in a RG and then select the operator : converted to list so that it is accepted by the RG as a valid datasource).
Then when the page is loaded you can run a workflow using the page loaded trigger to in the first step do a āmake changes to list of thingsā and all you will do for the datasource of the list of things to change is run the search you want the results of in the RG1. You will not make any changes to them, this is just to get the functionality of performing a search and capturing the response for use in workflows.
Then in step 2 display the data in RG1 and the datasource would be the āresult of step 1ā (this is the list you searched for in the make changes to list of things)ā¦then 3rd step in workflow would be to set the custom state to the āresult of step 1 :first itemā.
With this setup you will avoid using two searches and instead only use one search.
