There is no support for this in typo3 and none planned if I am not mistaken.

You could do it in two ways:
- use RLIKE on the flexform. Not a good thing because internal flexform
representation (XML) has changed in 4.0
- add extra "indexing" table for both plugins and save there fields that
you want to search. You will need also hook for TCEmain to watch when
record is deleted.
