  I will have 4 WordPress sites. One is on the main domain, and 3 on sub-domains.

  I need a unified search for all sites.

  Is this possible, how much does it cost and is it easy to install?

  It is possible, indeed:

  How to consolidate the search from several domains ?

  You will need one license for each site. And one Solr or Elasticsearch server, to create your index.

  I’m issues to find any pricing for Solr or Elasticsearch servers.

  Are these free resources?

  Many thanks for your help. WPSOLR looks likely to be the ideal solution.

  Solr and Elasticsearch are free to install locally. It will also be very fast.

  Else, you can check some external hosting services:

  Do the indexes update automatically as the sites grow, or is that a manual process?

  Everything is automatic.

  New/updated data is indexed in real-time.
