If you've been using a MultiSearcher to query multiple *remote* searchers, then Distributed searching in solr should be a appropriate.
if you're use to useing MultiSearcher as a way of aggregating from multiple *local* indexes distributed searching is probably going to seem slow compared to what you're use to (because of the overhead) : pretty sure this isn't what we want. Also does anyone have any comments about : trying to replace the SolrIndexSearcher with a SolrMultiSearcher; reasons why ...i'm not really sure what you mean by that. -Hoss
