Given Google's commitment to R, I don't think that they'd be at all averse to supporting a custom search box on the package page. It might well be a good thing for "someone" to examine the API for setting up such a page and to investigate how to mark the main CRAN page as searchable.
The main CRAN page is not ideal. We need to be able to search the help files. My site has only the html help files for each package (except the ones I use, which are fully installed), so someone should re-create that. The CRAN page has a "Reference manual" in pdf for every package, but the individual functions are not separated. But, yes, Google would work, even for my page. And the sos package would have to be modified for that. As I said, I'm not going to do this. But I would welcome it.
