# Federated Search with Typesense
This is a demo that showcases Typesense's Federated or Multi-Search feature.
View it live here: [https://federated-search.typesense.org/](https://federated-search.typesense.org/)
## Dataset
The dataset of company names and usernames was [generated](https://github.com/typesense/showcase-federated-search/blob/master/scripts/indexData.js) using faker.js.
## Tech Stack
This search experience is powered by Typesense which is a fast, open source typo-tolerant search-engine. It is an open source alternative to Algolia and an easier-to-use alternative to ElasticSearch.
The app was built using the [Typesense Adapter for InstantSearch.js](https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter) and is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
The search backend is powered by a geo-distributed 3-node Typesense cluster running on [Typesense Cloud](https://cloud.typesense.org), with nodes in Oregon, Frankfurt and Mumbai.
## Repo structure
- `src/` and `index.html` - contain the frontend UI components, built with Typesense Adapter for InstantSearch.js
- `scripts/` - contains the scripts to extract, transform and index the data into Typesense.## Development
1. Create a `.env` file using `.env.example` as reference.
2. Generate and index data
```shell
yarn indexData
```4. Install dependencies and run the local server:
```shell
yarn
yarn start
```Open http://localhost:3000 to see the app.
## Deployment
The app is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and is set to auto-deploy on git push
