## Description

Query Server is a federated search gateway and multi-engine aggregator that dispatches search requests across multiple external web platforms simultaneously. It collects comprehensive results through a unified endpoint, consolidating information from diverse search engines into a single response.

Beyond aggregation, the service transforms retrieved search data dynamically into multiple structured output formats including JavaScript Object Notation, Extensible Markup Language, and comma-separated values based on incoming client request parameters. It also automatically records executed search queries into a persistent database to support historical usage analysis and reporting.

The application supports containerized distribution and cloud-native buildpack deployment for consistent execution across different infrastructure environments.
