You can search for specific components on si.shimano.com and VeloBase has a huge database of Shimano components, but it's far from being complete. Is there a definitive list of all Shimano components ever released?

No. Those two would have the bulk of items covered between them, with a lot of overlap. Is there a question underneath your question? ie, are you searching for something ?– Criggie ♦Commented Jan 22, 2021 at 23:56

The Wikipedia page for Shimano lists all the road and MTB groupsets that Shimano has made, with series numbers and years they were current– Argenti ApparatusCommented Jan 23, 2021 at 13:19

Shimano released quit a few components not associated with any groupset, some of them where really neat. The FC-R700 and the BL-R600 come to mind. I'm trying to expand my knowledge about those "hidden" components.– user430Commented Jan 23, 2021 at 13:41

Without being definitive (from 2004 to today), a good way I can think of is going to the archive section of the Shimano technical documentation website. By opening the specifications documents, you have access to all the parts they released over a given year sorted by category of bikes (MTB, Road, etc) and then by family of components (Brake, Crankset, etc).
The non-series components will display SHIMANO in the Series row. For example, here is an excerpt from such documents:
