The tricky thing with that is that it requires people to be able to type the parts to be able to search. But it's an interesting concept that I have on my long term todo list to use for improved kanji search in some fashion.

I updated my proof-of-concept to be a lot faster and have more levels of filtering, and the output is easier to read because it's sorted by stroke count. It's also permissively licensed now. http://kanji.wareya.moe/

Ideographic Description Sequence component lookup
IMO doing something with IDSs would be way better than the radicals-as-components search system Jisho supports right now.
Ideographic Description Sequences look something like this:
絵
⿰糹会
⿰糸会
The chise project made a database of IDSs that's currently maintained here under a different group's name: https://github.com/cjkvi/cjkvi-ids/blob/master/ids.txt
It's pretty easy to do searches on them, you can basically throw away the composition instructions most of the time.
I have an example tool here: http://kanji.wareya.moe/find?lookup=%E7%B3%B8%E4%BC%9A
