How are multi-queries counted against my search request usage?

Multi-queries cannot be attributed to a single index, and as a result, they are not visible as Search Requests in the index-specific stats section of your Algolia dashboard.

Multi-queries are counted in Search Operations.

A Search Operation represents an individual sub-query within a request. Since a single request can include multiple operations targeting different indices, it's not possible to sum these operations across indices to determine the total number of requests.

For example, consider a multi-query containing three sub-queries:

• 2 sub-queries targeting the products index.
• 1 sub-query targeting the categories index.

This counts as one Search Request but includes three Search Operations—two for products and one for categories.
