Federated Search Design
This page has been moved to the more appropriately named DistributedSearch page.
"Federated search" is the term more typically used when searching across heterogeneous data sources - think about things like meta-search engines, as a common example of this.
Distributed search is when you have a homogeneous data source, but it needs to be distributed in order to scale properly.
