Search performance is not good with DFS-based indexes & segments. This is not recommended.
Distributed search is not meant for a single merged index, but rather for searching multiple indexes. With distributed search, each node will typically have (a local copy of) a few segments and either a merged index for just those segments, or separate indexes for each segment.
When I examine the search results I see many duplicate results. Looking at it further it seems like the results of performing the same search across all 16 nodes is being combined into one result set - duplicates and all. I can only assume that I need to somehow partition my index or segments, but I'm unsure how to do that.
It looks like you're searching the same dfs-resident index 16 times. Doug
