Federated search
In a federated search, users receive results from multiple search and retrieval systems – for example, from other search engines, commercial information services, or internal databases.
Federation is the blending of results from multiple, often non-compatible search systems.
Wikipedia:
Federated search is the simultaneous search of multiple online databases and is an emerging feature of automated, Web-based library and information retrieval systems. It is also often referred to as a portal, as opposed to simply a Web-based search engine. [...]
I know this term from quite a few software applications and it definitely refers to IT here. Generally it means that the system handles processes across several sites/databases/clients that may be distributed and completely standalone from one another.
Sammensatt søk er et avansert søk, dvs. at man finner f.eks. websider med ordene "mann" og "hund", men ikke "katt". Det er kalles sammensatt søk (eller avansert søk) fordi søket er sammensatt av mann, hund og katt.
"Fererated search" er parallelle søk.
Eksempel: "Ved bruk av ny teknologi gjør søkemotoren parallelle søk i flere ulike databaser og presenterer treffene i ett bilde."

Sammensatt søk og parallellt søk er to vidt forskjellige ting.
