As explained with the FAQ Where is developer documentation located, the module documentation lives with each actual module.
The dev.f.o Search facility does index only the content that is part of the dev website.
Its Search other section provides example searches for module documentation by using GitHub search facilities.
It would be beneficial to enable the dev.f.o Search facility to also index a specific set of important remote documents, for example "Okapi Guide", "RMB README", and some important Stripes documentation. When hits are presented for these documents, then provide an obvious link back to the original content.
The search index is generated during the dev site build process. It is a JSON document that is downloaded by the browser when the Search page is visited, and cached if no changes. Those two large documents will double the size of the search index to ~700Kb which should still be okay.
(Thanks to Mike Taylor for the suggestion.)
