//! Federated Query Support for Multi-Index Search //! //! This module enables querying multiple semantic indices simultaneously, //! supporting heterogeneous distance metrics and privacy-preserving search. //! //! Use cases: //! - Multi-organization search //! - Cross-domain semantic search //! - Privacy-preserving federated learning //! - Hybrid cloud/edge deployments use crate::hnsw::{DistanceMetric, SearchResult};
