Sure. But we not using read-multiple-choice, or at least not yet.

Provided someone implements it, sure.

But if we'd put two commands on the same letter this way, I'd rather we 
use two similar ones, again shell and eshell. And keep 'search' 
separate. I'm pretty sure the latter is going to be used more often, so 
it deserves a separate letter.
