This is not a good idea, I (or someone with worse intentions than me)
can now create a specially crafted search query to get data out of your
userdb, transactions, orderline, access, tables and more.  You should
specify the NoSedarch directive once in your catalog.cfg and list every
table that you do not anticipate a search running on, or better yet
upgrade to a more recent version of IC that has much better limitations
on search to prevent this.
