+### Bulk Search
+
+Search for multiple terms in a single API call — much faster than individual requests:
+
+```python
+# Bulk lexical search (up to 50 queries)
+results = client.search.bulk_basic([
+    {"search_id": "q1", "query": "diabetes mellitus"},
+    {"search_id": "q2", "query": "hypertension"},
+    {"search_id": "q3", "query": "aspirin"},
+], defaults={"vocabulary_ids": ["SNOMED"], "page_size": 5})
+
+for item in results["results"]:
+    print(f"{item['search_id']}: {len(item['results'])} results")
+
+# Bulk semantic search (up to 25 queries)
+results = client.search.bulk_semantic([
+    {"search_id": "s1", "query": "heart failure treatment options"},
+    {"search_id": "s2", "query": "type 2 diabetes medication"},

 ### Similarity Search
