Since it's about Elastic indexing, I think it should be on our radar, though @debt is right about getting input on it from Wikidata team.
On my side, I think indexing all strings is excessive and may be infeasible. But indexing specific properties - or even all external IDs? - may be ok. External IDs tend to be distinct enough from other text to be a decent search key. We can already index specific properties, but we'd need to specify the property to search by them (i.e. need to say we're looking up VIAF id) and will need special keyword for that.
We could also add content of external ID fields to "all" field, which would make it part of the search match, without specifying which ID is it. We need to see if it's really a good idea.
Thus, waiting for Wikidata team to weigh in about how to proceed.
