Performance Tuning :: Materialized View To Improve Search Queries?

In search queries generally we select 10-25 columns (more can't be displayed on the screen) from 5-10 tables

Say in case of insurance related application, the search might be on policy number, policy holder's first name, policy holder's last name, region, policy type etc.

And not to many columns we are displaying on the screen, say, 4 tables have collectively 4 * 20 = 80 columns, then we are displaying say 12-15 columns with 2-3 columns have aggregates on it.

since the search criteria (e.g. first name, last name, policy number etc.) is not known till last moment it will be a generic dynamic query

Is it possible that instead we create a Materialized view with query with only joining conditions but no filter conditions and selecting only columns to be displayed on the screen and then we will refresh the materialized view (to take care of recent business transactions) and fire refined query with filter criteria on this materialized view

Select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5
From tab1,tab2,tab3,tab4
Where tab1.col1=tab2.col1
And tab2.col2=tab3.col2
And tab2.col2=tab4.col2;

Will it improve performance of the search functionality
