Can I create an integrated search function in Toolset?
If I search, I want to get results from 3 databases.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset works as per WordPress standard. If you have a single WordPress install that means you will have a single database to interest with and when you perform search using Toolset it will interact that database only. There is no such feature until and unless you use some API or plugin that offers such feature and you may have to add custom code accordingly which is beyond the scope of our support policy.

Here is the Doc that shows how you can build custom search with Toolset:
