Yes it is (located in a pre_get_posts filter), as shown below.

function profile_search_form( $query ) {
    $results_per_page = get_option( 'posts_per_page' );
    $paged            = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
    $exclude          = sd_exclude_dummy();

    if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && isset( $_GET['ssd8'] ) && 1 == $_GET['ssd8'] ) {

        // output on search page
        if ( $query->is_search ) {

            $no_errors = false;
            include( get_template_directory() . '/inc/search/profile-search-query.php' );

            if ( true == $no_errors ) {

                $query->set( 's', false );
                $query->set( 'post_type', PostTypes::PROFILE );
                $query->set( 'post__not_in', $exclude );
                $query->set( 'posts_per_page', $results_per_page );
                if ( isset( $_GET[ 'sp' ] ) && 'tour' == $_GET[ 'sp' ] ) {
                    add_filter( 'posts_where', 'sd_tour_cities_searches' );
                }
                $query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
                $query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'profile_search_form' );

It exists in a few queries, since I need to hide this dummy post for regular visitors. It only needs to show in archives sometimes, when I test things.

How can I easily solve this ?

Would defining it as a constant be a simple solution ?
