Using the new layout for some time I miss the global search. Especially with GLib/Gio where I just remember the class name but am not sure in which module.
The index could load the search indexes of all modules.
Update:
Another idea is to use frames to match the devhelp layout. The packages get build in embedded mode like for devhelp and a frame on the left can search all of them and lists the results on the left. This of course sucks for linking to a page.
For making it possible to link to a page we could add markers to the HTML output and inject/replace the needed code after building.
