If I use the search type "dfs_query_then_fetch", as I understand it the 
first step of the search is to go to each of the shards collecting the 
inverse document frequencies.

If I was searching across multiple indexes, would it collect the idfs from 
each of the indexes and combine them?

E.g. if I randomly split an index in half (e.g. "unsecured" and "secured"), 
if I did a search across both of those indexes, would the results (and 
their scores) be roughly similar to if I had all the documents in one index 
and just did the search on that?
