Comment (by goyko):

 I just want to let you know that I am currently working on this.
 Initially, I began developing a pidgin plugin that would implement
 searching in all protocols that support searching. Unfortunately, I didn't
 know about the Field Request API, and it turned out that integrating
 libpurple and my code would be kinda reinventig the wheel, so I stopped
 somewhere at the GUI development stage. I submitted a screenshot of what
 I've done. Anyway, I confined to implementing an icq whitepages search.
 What do you think, is it a good idea to put search functionality for all
 supported protocols in one window? I think that meets the pidgin
 philosophy of hiding the protocols from the users, also it is easier for
 new users to use "Buddies->Add Buddy" menu than digging the account
 actions in Accounts menu.

 If someone is working (had worked) on this issue, we may exchange some
 info, code or ideas.
