Is it possible to make OOTB search function works while publish instance is dead?

For OOTB search component, I see that when I make a request to perform a search on the web server. I see in the dispatcher.log it will make request to the CQ publish instance and return the text result.

Is it possible that when it does the search, it will do the search query only on the web server, so that even the CQ publish some how goes down, the search can still perform successfully?

The Search component works on the publish instance. So if the publisher instance goes down - then the search component will not work. Its a script that runs on the server. See the AEM topic for more information: "Creating the Search Component"

Is it possible that to copy all the indexings file from the publish instance to the web server? So that when a user make a search request on the web server, the web server will make the query locally instead of sending the request to the publish instance.

Thanks for your reply
