No problem here at all, it's done all the time. Consider a popular facet series "in the last day", "in the last week", "in the last month"... There's no reason you have to facet on the fields that are searched on.
The user as search terms like "my dog has fleas" and your query looks like q=my dog has fleas&fq=timestamp:[NOW/DAY TO NOW/DAY+1DAY] and the user sees all documents with those terms added since midnight last night. No confusion at all...
