12 years ago I was thinking about this same kind of feature and thought that I already enabled multiple selection in the ns-list… but that does't seem to work right now/any-more.
If you select multiple ns, then the var-list would automatically switch to all-publics, i.e. fqn-format, for all the chosen ns.
The var-filter would then search thru all those public fqn-vars and only show the matches.
The ns-filter could help you to more easily select those ns you want.
We need one check-box to indicate whether you want to search the docs too… but where to put it? (or a menu-item (?))

This might complicate the behavior too much, but imagine letting the user select an arbitrary subset of the namespace names. The symbols shown in the var list to its right would be those symbols in all of the selected namespaces. To make it easy to select all namespaces, there could be a "Select All" button above the namespace list.
If this were done, then the menu item "all-publics" in the Vars menu should be removed, as it would be redundant. Similarly for "search-all-docs", but see also Issue #11 related to that menu item.
