hello dirk. i think such a feature would be very useful. integration of an external search engine on a "higher level" than the oak-level search integration is a common use case in our projects as well. it's important to be quite flexible what is indexed and what not and how it's indexed - for best match of the business requirements and the special features of the targeted search engine.
