Yes, of course.
But I still don't know if both are up to date.
If #1 is from last week and you added a new custom column yesterday and sync #2 now then they will have different fields. Until you also sync #1.
And #1 and #2 might even come from different computers/Calibre and might be completely different.

I'm not even sure that is possible. You can tell Calibre to not send some metadata? Does this also mean that Calibre might not even send some of those over that I use? I don't think Koreader will crash in that case, but of course the search results will not be very helpful in case of e.g. an empty title...
