1. A method comprising: receiving, a search request at search services module, wherein said search request is in a search request format, and said search request comprises a query; generating a first search query in a search query format, wherein said first search query is generated from said search request, and said first search query represents, at least in part, said query; converting said first search query into first index data, wherein said first index data is in a first native format, and said first native format is compatible with a first search engine by virtue of said first native format being a first engine-specific format of said first search engine; generating a second search query in said search query format, wherein said second search query is generated from said search request, and said second search query represents, at least in part, said query; converting said second search query into second index data, wherein said second index data is in a second native format, said second native format is compatible with a second search engine by virtue of said second native format being a second engine-specific format of said second search engine, and said first native format and said second native format are different from one another; sending said first index data to said first search engine, wherein said converting said first search query and said sending said first index data are performed by a first search engine adapter; sending said second index data to said second search engine, wherein said converting said second search query and said sending said second index data are performed by a second search engine adapter; and generating a search result, wherein said generating said first search query, said generating said second search query, and said generating said search result are performed by said search services module, and said generating said search result comprises consolidating first result data based, at least in part, on first native result data received from said first search engine, and second result data based, at least in part, on second native result data received from said second search engine.
