Would think so. Normally you cannot search XML content from sql. There 
are new versions of some DBs that do that now, but I doubt it'll be fast 
and it will very likely not be portable.

Perhaps needs a new flexform attribute that tells Typo3/TCE that this 
value should be indexed.

But for your case, tt_content/shop, I really suggest the good old RDBM 
way of doing it. That is use extras fields and possibly tables for 
relations.
