Oh, just as I feared. The problem is the metadata itself is probably
hundreds of gigabytes, if not terabytes in size, so it would be

One thing you could consider is to just create these fake files for items in the database that the user actually visits. At least that way they can do a spotlight search for something they remember visiting before. Similar in style to what happens with web sites you have visited in Safari. There is an index file for each of the items in Safari's history.
