Topic: How does SearchService works?

I’m trying to wrap my head around how the Search Services actually work in Dataverse:

https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.7/developers/search-services.html

As far as I understand, this is a way to add external search services to Dataverse. Unfortunately, I could not find any examples of this. Is there maybe a demo somewhere in a community call? @Philip Durbin 🚀

My main issue is how this works in the UI. Do users have to select a specific search engine to search in, or does the search field search across all services and merge the results?
