.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Aside from the arguments to its constructor, MultiSearcher looks and acts just
like a KinoSearch1::Searcher object.
.PP
The primary use for MultiSearcher is to aggregate results from several remote
searchers via SearchClient, diffusing the
cost of searching a large corpus over multiple machines.
.SH METHODS
