there are a couple of cases where the database= lines in ndb
files don't appear to me to work as one would expect.
ndbsearch(2) searches the original file and all the files in
the database= lines. however ndbparse(2) opens only the
named file; ndbreopen(2) only reopens the named file.
so, e.g., consolefs(4) won'trecognize databases= lines at
all. ndb search has special magic to take care of this so
cs(8) wouldn't have this problem.
so i would think either consolefs or ndbparse would
have to be at fault.

It may be that you want to limit the search to a single database
element and then there is no way to do it. The database= idea is
good, but it seems hard to use it consistently. Of course, that's my
opinion, the real reason may be completely different.
