Yeah, it is kind of weird, but certainly do-able. But big gotcha is if you want to _retrieve_ that field, that could take some time. If you just want to search it, no problems that I know of. If you do want to retrieve it, make sure lazy field loading is enabled and that you do NOT ask for this field in results except when you really need it...
