I agree with all of the above and add that these are crucial (in my experience) for performance reasons. For example I've built company lookups of customer statuses for people to easily find information. We have something like 100 locations, and 1000 customers per location - so 100,000 customers in total. Comparing the two ways:
1. 100,000 customers doing a search is *very* slow 2. Making 100 data tiddlers of 1000 indexes each runs quite well Every once in a while I see either posts on "wiki is too big" when it's filled with simple lists and I know in at least *some* of the cases they could benefit from this structure. While this thread is here, I'd just just throw out there again that while there's a indexes[] filter operator, there's not a corresponding values[] one. This comes up every now and then and it would be very useful, but I don't think any of the people that have the skills to add an operator must use them like I do. To illustrate the use-case, I can iterate through the 100,000 customers and manually look for the ones with say an "active" value, but I can't just return a list of customers with the "active" value in the filter.
