Does Meilisearch support federated search?

Yes, Meilisearch supports federated search, allowing you to search multiple indexes with a single request. You have two options for receiving search results:

Separate lists (traditional multi-search): Results from each index are returned in distinct lists.
A single unified list (federated multi-search): Results from all searched indexes are combined into one list, sorted by relevance.

Meilisearch always maintains separate indexes, regardless of how you choose to receive your search results. This approach preserves the integrity and flexibility of individual indexes while offering versatile search capabilities.

For more information, please refer to our documentation.
