Universal search form validation using a fake model

Models:
Vehicles hasMany Doors, Wheels
Actions: index, search, view, add, edit, delete
Doors belongsTo Vehicles
Wheels belongsTo Vehicles
Customers hasMany Vehicles

urls:
vehicles/index - list all vehicles for the past 2 weeks
vehicles/search - list only the vehicles based off the form in the
search view, but should display the records in the vehicle.index view

Search form Validation:
Doors can be no more than 4 and must be a positive number
Wheels cannot be greater than 16 but must be a positive number
Customer must have at least 4 characters

My initial thoughts are to create a fake search model to do the search
view's form validation. This would insure that the form data was of a
nature that wouldn't cause undue stress on the database. Any ideas?
