What this is really needed for is AWS because they don't really have a cross-region search.
For Compute VMs, yes.
Indexing is quite sparse outside of Compute. For example, App Engine is supposed to be an important product but substring searching doesn't work.

We're working on it :)
For the AWS case, this might be of interest to you: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/06/support-c...
They've just begun to do global search for VMs, but obviously that addresses just one need.
Cloud providers have been sitting on this problem for years without taking action, so we're just impatient.
We also do something they don't / won't: cross-cloud search.

The point is that pockets of AWS are recognizing a need for global resource search.
But we are totally taking note of your request for cross-region search :) It's valuable feedback to us and why we're posting here.
