does a feature like this or similar exist:

Highlighted text being copied (automatically) to a 'central' storage space, thereby enabling a search across multiple documents

also - is highlighting and bookmarking automatically synced across different devices, or are there still compatibility issues?

The Kindles save your highlights to Amazon's servers, and to kindle.amazon.com, where you can log in and see all your highights and notes in one place.

Highlights and notes are synced among different devices, too, on Kindle.

This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but using Marvin as an ereader on your iPad allows you to create annotations which can be stored in calibre using calibre's Marvin XD plugin. Then, within calibre, you can search your stored annotations.

Sony uses Evernote to sync and store .... not sure if it does everything you're looking for.

Evernote is an excellent free database resource that crosses most if not all platforms.
