I am looking at the SearchParameters on Extensions part of the Resource Search Parameter spec : https://www.hl7.org/fhir/searchparameter.html#srch

From the spec, it looks like extensions base should have DomainResource: “If the extension's context specifies multiple resources, SearchParameter.base must be set to "DomainResource".”

Why does it need to be DomainResource instead of a list of applicable resources (i.e. Patient, Practitioner)? It seems compute intensive to have to reindex data to pick up extension search parameters where they might only apply to 2 or 3 resource types and not everything. Thank you

that text is wrong in several ways, and was from when base was 1..1 not 1..*. Can you make a task to fix it?
