How can I do a multi-index search using the Azure Search API?

Question

How can I search multiple indexes using the azure search API?

For instance:

https://{0}/indexes**('Place','vehicle')**/docs?api-version={1}&search={2}&$count=true". 

Is this possible or not?

Answer 1

Based on my understanding of the search service, it is not possible to perform a search that spans multiple indexes using the API. You will need to perform a search on each index individually, and then somehow combine the results on the client side.
