These queries may target different indexes. Meilisearch then returns a separate list results for each query. Use the `/multi-search` route to perform multi-searches. Multi-search favors discovery scenarios, where users might not have a clear idea of what they need and searches might have many valid results. ## What is federated search? -Federated search is a type of multi-index search. This operation also queries multiple indexes, but returns a single list with the most relevant results from all queried indexes. Use the `/multi-search` route and specify a non-null value for `federation` to perform a federated search. +Federated search is a type of multi-index search. This operation also makes multiple search requests at the same time, but returns a single list with the most relevant results from all queries. Use the `/multi-search` route and specify a non-null value for `federation` to perform a federated search. Federated search favors scenarios where users have a clear idea of what they need and expect a single best top result. ## Use cases -Because multi-search groups results by index, it is often useful when the origin and type of document contain information relevant to your users. For example, a person searching for `shygirl` in a music streaming application is likely to appreciate seeing separate results for matching artists, albums, and individual tracks. +Because multi-search groups results by query, it is often useful when the origin and type of document contain information relevant to your users. For example, a person searching for `shygirl` in a music streaming application is likely to appreciate seeing separate results for matching artists, albums, and individual tracks. Federated search is a better approach when the source of the information is not relevant to your users. For example, a person searching for a client's email in a CRM application is unlikely to care whether this email comes from chat logs, support tickets, or other data sources. diff --git a/learn/multi_search/performing_federated_search.mdx b/learn/multi_search/performing_federated_search.mdx index 0effaa623..1a90e68b4 100644 --- a/learn/multi_search/performing_federated_search.mdx +++ b/learn/multi_search/performing_federated_search.mdx @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ description: In this tutorial you will see how to perform a query searching mult # Using multi-search to perform a federated search -Meilisearch allows you to search in multiple indexes at the same time with the `/multi-search` endpoint.

A federated search is a multi-search that returns results from multiple queries in a single list. In this tutorial you will see how to create separate indexes containing different types of data from a CRM application. You will then perform a query searching all these indexes at the same time to obtain a single list of results.
