Each domain is owned by a different entity and data for each domain is acquired by the corresponding entity. Further, the method includes operations for receiving one or more search parameters values, searching, in response to the received search parameter values, the two or more domains based on the search parameters values, and ranking separately search results for each domain. Further, the method includes causing presentation in the UI of the search results for the two or more domains based on the ranking, the search results for each domain being presented in a separate results list.
