Is a cross-subnetwork search a broadcast search sent over subnetwork boundaries?

No. Cross-subnetwork search logic finds resources across subnetwork boundaries with minimum disturbance to other subnetworks. The sequential fashion in which the searches are sent allows the search to terminate as soon as the resource is located, without having to search every connected subnetwork. In addition, routing information can be both defined or monitored dynamically, which directs the search toward the subnetwork that is most likely to own the resource.
