Maybe you could build this as a web proxy server that you configured all your devices to use.

google desktop search did almost exactly this, for one computer, something like 10 years ago. I used it a bit, but not a lot. I wonder how many such features are just less useful than we imagine, and therefore don't stick even once implemented.
