Wouldn't it require scanning just for entities? I'd take it for granted that anything not being @Entity is going to be ignored by Hibernate. In the context of Hibernate Search I think we should be consistent with the "Hibernate way".

Also should we allow implementation details / complexity to break user expectations of a natural behaviour?
