# Federated Search

> Compare multi-search with and without result federation

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Live demo**: [federated-search.meilisearch.com](https://federated-search.meilisearch.com)

Explore Meilisearch's federated search in action. Search across a movies index and an actors index, then toggle between two modes: independent per-index results displayed side by side, or a single ranked list
merged across both indexes.
