Gimantha,
Search will run in parallel even across indices.
This happens because IndexSearcher searches by LeafReader and it doesn't
matter where those LeafReaders come from (DirectoryReader or MultiReader)
they are all treated equally.
Example:
DirectoryReader(A):
LeafReader(B), LeafReader(C)
DirectoryReader(D):
LeafReader(E), LeafReader(F)
Searching over A would use leaves B, C.
Searching over B would use leaves E, F.
Searching over a MultiReader on (A, B) would use leaves B, C, E, F.
This runs serially by default but can run in parallel if you provide an
ExecutorService to the IndexSearcher and use a compatible search() method
on it.
