I have no idea what that means, but I'll assume we agree: have a command
that can run a variety of external tools like `locate', or GNU id, or
Beagle, or ...
If you really mean to provide various commands that all end up running
one particular external tool, then I don't understand why you'd want
that, since AFAICT there is no standard "external search tool" (there
may exist such a thing on some platforms, but we'd want those commands
to work on all platforms, so they'll necessarily need to support various
backends).
