It's the other way around -- most of the time I want to search the
current buffer and most of the other buffers -- but want to exclude
certain remote buffers.

I was thinking one could enhance the existing 'complete' with
include and exclude patterns:
set complete+=/<include_this_pattern>,!/<exclude_this_pattern>
but I really do not know the source code and so have no idea how
viable the above scheme is.
