You're right to ask first. It seems like a logical extension of existing functionality, a feature many people would be interested in. When you implement it, please make sure to submit your patch to our Jira [1]. I also wanted to draw you attention to the current development of Discovery for JSPUI. It's planned to be in DSpace 3.0, which is due before the end of this year. If I were you, I'd prefer talking to Solr instead of the database, it's faster and built for search (so you may forget LIKE). You may want to develop your improvements for the upcoming version and deploy it when it comes out. You can find the JSPUI Discovery branch here [2] and watch when it's merged into the master Git branch here [3]. The corresponding Jira ticket is here [4]. Another option is to use the XMLUI interface where this functionality already exists for submission (available only for your users internally) and the JSPUI interface for the public-facing repository (if you prefer). XMLUI and JSPUI can be deployed just fine in parallel on one DSpace instance, just on different URLs.
