Hi,
I've been reading related questions on this topic but I fear they're outdated as of 6.3.
Can I configure a search head to search across, say, 2 clusters and 2 standalone indexers?
I'm struggling to find documentation that confirms or disproves this possibility.
Thank you
EDIT : I should point out that we plan to use the 2 standalone indexers to manage the 2 clusters.

The searching across multiple indexer clusters is configured by method described here

Below link should give you how to then add the non-clustered/standalone Indexers.

Yes,
Just configure in the search peers in case of cluster one indexer of the cluster (to not duplicate events) and the standalone servers.
Hope i help you

I'm not sure how that would appear in server.conf. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Indexer/Configuremulti-clustersearch doesn't mention how standalone servers are taken into consideration.

In the clusters how many servers do you have?

4, and each cluster will be managed by the 2 standalone indexers. This adds another level of complexity unfortunately

2, search factor 2. But would this make a difference?
