That certainly works if the intent is to grab the entire file. If all you want is that particular line to be returned in the search then that's not going to work.
Let's say the files was made up of a million lines and the text was stored in the index (I know, absurd). When grabbing the Document from a search, you don't necessarily want to grab all the lines. Also when you get the document, how do you know which Field contained the line you wanted?
