I've thought of that, because we already have global settings for indexing
or not indexing plugin bodies - in the "Exclude plugins" or "Except included
plugins" search settings. 

Maybe you're right, and those settings should be abandoned altogether, in
favor of global per-plugin settings, specified in the
"wikiplugin_..._info()" functions. And in favor of an optional "searchable"
argument for all plugins.

I don't see a good reason either, why someone would want to override those
settings, when the per-plugin defaults are reasonable.
