Filter qualifications (The Filter Run-If on the Basic tab) are not doing 
searches (since the filter is only firing on a single record) so the != $NULL$ 
will not do a table scan.

What you are thinking of is the Push Fields If qualification on a Push Fields 
Action.

Subject: Filter qualification using !=

Hi,

I have some filters that use the qualification != $NULL$.
In the documentation it says to avoid using != as it will do a full
table scan.

My question is 'does having != $NULL$ AND Field1 = Organization' make
the full table scan smaller?

Or
Is it better to do a != $NULL$ or LIKE 'CU%"

When I try the LIKE qualification, it seems a lot slower (timeout
message) compared to the != $NULL$
