Is it possible to do searching on two FESS instances?

I have two instances of FESS running on two different ports.
FESS_cluster1: localhost:8085 (Indexed documents: 1)
FESS_cluster2: localhost:8086 (Indexed documents: 2)

By default, FESS searches on the index fess.YYYYMMDD, right?
Is it possible that FESS_cluster1 can also search at the same time on the indexed documents on the index fess.YYYYMMDD of FESS_cluster2?

See sample scenario below.

I want to know if I can display the search results based on the indexed documents of FESS_cluster1 and FESS_cluster2. Is this scenario possible?

Fess uses fess.search for searching and fess.update for indexing.

Is it possible that FESS_cluster1 can also search at the same time on the indexed documents on the index fess.YYYYMMDD of FESS_cluster2?

Fess uses fess index on 1 elasticsearch cluster.

Fess uses fess index on 1 elasticsearch cluster.

Is there a possibility to access the fess index of other elasticsearch cluster?

I was able to perform search on multiple clusters using remote clusters with elasticsearch cross-cluster setup.

I also want to search multiple clusters with FESS. Is there a way on how to do this with FESS?

I’m not sure if alias is available for cross cluster search.

This is my cross-cluster setup.

I tried assigning alias on remote cluster index but it does not let me assign it.

Does this mean that multi cluster search is not possible with FESS?

According to Search multiple remote clusters. it might work if changing index.document.search.index in fess_config.properties as below.

index.document.search.index=cluster2:fess.20190828

@marevol It actually works. Thank you very much!
