You can do that though I've seen varying degrees of success. And you don't have all the options you do with a built in search like selecting a specific forum or searching titles only etc.
The best option is to use a proper search engine like Sphinx or elasticsearch, then the search will work well and use far less resources vs. using the built in database search.
That's the eventual plan since Xenforo can be integrated with elasticsearch.
