This has some serious limitations though.
First: you cannot search for just a wildcard (without any keys). Therefore 
this will only work when someone types somethign in that search-keyword 
field. Very confusing if used with other exposed filters, because your view 
will show no results untill someone provides a keyword.
Second: search index has hardcoded: comments, tags/terms, title, teaser and 
body additions to the index of a node. This may, or may not be what you want. 
If its not, search index is not an option. 
Third: Search index in views requires search in core to be anabled. You may 
find this core search ugly confusing or whatever. If you have a serious 
reason not to want to have this search screen enabled at all, then you cannot 
enable only the views part of the search index: the interfaces come with it, 
wether you want them or not.
