Ideas for Searching Multiple Data Sources

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 353

I am curious what solutions people have come up with to create a search experience that essentially searches multiple data sources. For example, one idea is to have a radio choice under the search bar that defines the scope of the search and based on the selection, one gallery appears and one hides... Any other ideas out there?

    Depending on the volume of data and the number of columns you plan to search, this may or may not be practical but...

     

    You could load a collection during the On Start processing which contains the search columns and an indicator column as to which source it came from.  Then your search can be applied across a single set of data.  Once a selection is made you could then use the indicator column to access the point you to the correct data source to return the data.
