Elastic: Creating meta engines to scale your search experiences

With growth often comes complexity — especially when search is involved. How do you maintain autonomy across independent search engines while bundling engines into a single search bar?

In Elastic App Search 7.6, we introduced meta engines: document-less engines that sit on top of source engines. Users can now aggregate searches across multiple engines into a single search bar while allowing each individual business unit, geographic region, or product division to maintain individual control over the behavior of their own search engine.

• How to set-up and manage meta engines
• Scenarios where meta engines deliver value
• Instances where meta engines don’t make sense
