Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for providing a distributed search function for online delivery platforms used in law firms and other enterprises are described. For example, one aspect of the systems, methods and software provides a plurality of data sets. The data sets may comprise indices into other sets of data. At least one search engine is associated with each data set. A system receiving a search request determines which search engines are used to process the search request based on the data sets involved in the search request. The search request is then forwarded to the identified search engines.
