CQRS

Command Query Responsibility Segregation. Separate models for writing data and for reading it, often with a read store shaped for the queries.

You have done this if

You wrote documents to a source system and served search from a separate index built for reading.

Say it in a review

Writes go to the system of record; reads come from an index built for retrieval, which is CQRS in practice.
