In embodiments, at a first cluster, information identifying a plurality of indexers of the first cluster is determined based on a master node of the first cluster identifying active indexers within the first cluster. The information is transmitted from the first cluster to a second cluster. Such information can include a list of active indexers, and an indication of how to communicate with the plurality of indexers that is used by the second cluster in distributing a distributed search query. The distributed search query is received at the plurality of indexers of the first cluster. The distributed search query is distributed across the plurality of indexers based on the information identifying the plurality of indexers. A response is provided from at least one of the plurality of indexers, wherein each response from a respective indexer is generated based on an evaluation of the distributed search query.
