Implementations described herein identify and exploit opportunities for offloading search-time and/or index-time operations to programmed offloading hardware accelerators (POHAs). An event-based data intake and query system is implemented in an enterprise core that is in communication with the POHAs over network interfaces. The system receives search requests associated with search-time operations classified into off-loadable operations and non-off-loadable operations. Non-off-loadable operations are distributed to local processing resources, and off-loadable operations are distributed to the POHAs for offloaded processing. The system can post-process both the locally processed and offload-processed results to generate search results responsive to at least some of the received search requests.
