If there's any (un)official way to represent multi-document projects, the cache could be stored at the root of the project, and SearchBar would only show object from those docs. The Refresh list of tools command should then be supplemented with Refresh objects from other documents and would load the docs one by one and pre-render+cache each object's thumbnail.

If we're going to have a bunch of 3D objects in the results, having a syntax to disambiguate the different kind of results would be nice, e.g. #SomeObjectName (inspired by web document fragments), !SomeToolName (! for "execute) and a generic syntax category:search term, e.g. O:SomeObjectName, P:SomePreferenceName, T:SomeToolName
