Searching for "linux" should bring up all communities from all federated instances.

This is already working for me today: I discovered several magazines this way, and a search for "linux" brings up groups on other instances:

https://kbin.social/magazines?q=linux

The third result on that page is @linux@lemmy.ml – do you not see the same?

I should be able to merge instances for viewing

As long as it's optional and you're able to choose which ones you merge.

I totally get how that could be useful, but it's not something I'd want. There are federated instances that I mostly avoid, like lemmy.ml, which which welcomes and encourages CCP propaganda and disinformation.
