How federated search works
One query searches every index in parallel. Results are merged and ranked into a single list, no client-side logic required.
Without federation
POST /indexes/products/searchPOST /indexes/articles/searchPOST /indexes/faq/search- 3 round trips
- Client-side merging
- No cross-index ranking
With federation
POST /multi-search {federation: true}- 1 round trip
- Server-side cross-index ranking
- Unified pagination & deduplication
One query, every answer
Everything you need to search across multiple data sources, without the complexity.
One query, every source
Search products, articles, FAQs, and more in a single request. Users never see the seams.
One ranked list of results
The most relevant result wins, no matter which index it came from. No tabs to hop between.
Boost what matters
Promote results from any source per query. Push products in commerce, articles in support.
No new concepts to learn
Filters, sorting, and pagination work the same as a normal search. Just more sources.
Fast even at scale
Sources are searched together, so latency stays flat whether you span 2 or 10 of them.
Pagination handled for you
Page through merged results like a single list. No client-side bookkeeping required.
Built for every use case
From e-commerce to enterprise, federated search unifies data across your entire organization.
E-commerce
Search products, categories, brands, and buying guides in one query. Shoppers get the most relevant result whether it's a product page or a size guide.
