This is a swell item to add to a "wish list", but imagine the
challenge faced by anyone wanting to set-up such a database:
existing information is sorted by residual strokes after the
significant radical. When you want to add each character
under every one of its components, these residual stroke
counts would need to be re-counted for each 'permutation'
of every character!
The Han Radical Index is set up for people familiar with CJK,
the rest of us will just have to guess (and learn something during
each look-up process, I'd suspect.)
