What Search Network Does
Federated search explained: one query fanned out across a network of specialized engines, with results returned side by side
One question dispatched to many engines at once — the metasearch idea, done with specialists instead of mirrors.
Law, medicine, code, images, academia: each field has engines that index what general search skims past.
Answers grouped by source so agreement is obvious and disagreement is visible, not averaged away.
How results from engines with different scoring systems can be merged honestly — and when they should not be.
What it takes to plug a new specialist engine into a federation: a query format and a results format.
Every engine in the fan-out sees the query — what that means and how proxied federation limits it.
How Search Network Works
Ask once; the network decides which specialist engines should hear it.
The query reaches engines that index the deep material general search skips.
Side-by-side panels show where the sources agree and where they split.
About
SearchNetwork — Many engines, one query Part of the VentureOS network of 20,000+ smart entities, each built to create real value in its vertical. Backed by 63+ specialist agents, shared infrastructure, and a unified economy.
Sending one query to several engines or databases at once and presenting their results together — a network of searches behind a single box.
General engines index breadth, not depth: specialist engines for law, medicine or code often hold results the big ones never crawl.
Yes — each engine in the fan-out receives the query. Proxied federation hides who asked, but the query text itself still travels.

Not a website. Not a landing page. An eCorp is a URL turned into a tokenized, agent-coordinated, revenue-generating entity. Here's the unpacked definition.
