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.
Then I wonder if there is a "trick" or hack you can type into google
that will force it to search within the Ubuntu environments only,
thereby reducing the level of chaff in your results?
