It's definitely possible to create custom search widgets for each of those,
but I don't think we can search all of them with a single one (Google does a
good job of that anyway).  I have some doubt, though, that users in need of
help would find it on their own; it isn't very discoverable (you mentioned
yourself that you only noticed it now).

If anyone creates the necessary bits for this, please file them in Malone.
