I search $dirs, which is:
    set dirs [concat [file join $::sys_libdir doc] $::sys_searchpath $::sys_staticpath]

So whatever is in the system searchpath which can be added in the path dialog.

But these are different sides of the same coin remaining:
1) when the path dialog is removed, how can the user specify a new addition to sys_searchpath?
2) isn't the currently opened patch part of the searchpath?  Unfortunately it's not
appended to $::sys_searchpath, because if it were the docs inside the patch's dir
would show up in the search, and they don't.  I'm using 0.43 Vanilla to test, though,
so I have no idea if pd-extended is different.
