Is there a way to search both the x32 (WOW3264Node) AND native x64 parts of the registry from a singular relevancy statement?
I many Windows 7 computers coming with 64-bit editions of Windows and Office, but many other applications are 32-bit editions only. So when you use the installed applications retrieved property you only get the x32 or x64 registry entires, not both (i.e. of x32 registry, of x64 registry, of native registry).
Thanks,
Michael

You can point to a number of registry sources in your relevance:
Q: names of values of keys “HKLM\Software\Bigfix” of (x32 registry; x64 registry)
A concern I have for doing this is that it could come back with multiple entries (when you might just be expecting one) and that if you do get a result (or multiple results), then you don’t know which one came from where.
Example, if the following came back from the relevance…
A: SupportLevel
A: FakeResult
A: SupportLevel
On my x64 bit machine, it returned the 1st and 3rd entry (the 2nd is aptly named). If another machine returned all three, then you could probably make a fair assumption that the results are alphabetical and that the first one is from x32 and the 2nd two are from x64. However, if it only returned the last two entries, would they be from x32, x64 or possibly the “Fake” entry from x32 and “Support” one from x64?
