+We're excited to announce the ability to run a log search queries directly across multiple child orgs under a parent org. Previosuly, we were able to only query across one child org under a parent org, going forward you can query across multiple child orgs making it easier to dive into multi org-specific insights while staying connected at the parent org level.

+    Make sure you use an aggregator and `_orgID` for multi-child org queries. For example, `* | count by _orgId`.
+    :::
+
+There can be two possible errors while running the multi-child org queries:
+
+- **Partial success**. This occurs when you run a query across all child organizations, and while some child organizations successfully execute, one or more encounter failures. Despite the failures, aggregate results from the successfully executed child organizations will be displayed. To resolve the failure, refer to the audit logs (`_index=sumologic_system_events`) for detailed information on the failure query.
+- **Error**. This occurs when you run a query across all child organizations, and all child organizations encounter failures with no child organizations returning the successful result. To resolve the failure, refer to the audit logs (`_index=sumologic_system_events`) for detailed information on the failure query.
 
 :::note
-- We only support selecting *one* child org to perform the log search.
 - All the searches that run via the child org in the parent org would be billed under the child org account.
-- Currently, this search capability is limited only to **Log Search**.
 - Audit logs for the completed searches would appear under the child org logs.
+- Raw messages and facets are supported only for one child org query and not for multiple chid orgs query.
