PEAR manual already renders in CHM and it takes about 2.4Mb
additional load. ZendAPI is not included in xCHM, but present in
standart CHM version. I guess it is possible to link these CHM's
together, but I doubt somebody will benefit from this if Index and
Search capabilities merge. PEAR index can greatly confuse users who
learn PHP. Search results make it even worse producing informational
garbage gathered from all three files rather than displaying only
relevant info. I don't know a way to limit search scope and it seems
to me, that having three separate manuals is the best solution.

There is a feature in the CHM creation process to specify zones (collections) for browsing and searching, but this was eventually not implemented too nicely by Microsoft, and completely left undocumented.
