I'd start by doing some research on the question rather than asking for a solution.. What your asking for can be considered 'Federated Search' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_search
And it can be conceived in as many ways as you have document types. Any answer will probably end up customized and weighted by your document silo value, usually companies weight those by business rules rather than head down the path of federated search, as it's just quicker and cheaper, and you can accomplish more. e.g Medication = score *2 (as higher advertising incentives) Diseases = score Books = score * 0.75 ( thousands of books, which nobody buys etc..) You might also want to try consolidating your data into 1 schema, and consider layering or collapsing results based on type.
