I agree that the Search Site DB is not very good / customisable. It's probably only still there for backward compatability.
The Domain Search results are customisable though. You can modify how results are displayed by creating your own results forms including the "ResultEntry" form that determines the formatting of an individual search result entry. However, the sorting of results are limited to relevance, date acsending/descending.
For some people this will be enough. But if you need to sort results differently and add different fields to the results then a solution like yours is great.
The point I was trying to make is that if your looking into a search solution (or any problem for that matter) don't automatically discount what Domino can already do.
