Yes, you will not need the combined index.
If you must set a filter which can not be completely optimized, it's important to put the search criteria which can be optimized first. Here are a few examples of searchec which can be optimized:
SET FILTER TO Department=cDep and Section=cSec and Unit=cUnit
SET FILTER TO Department=cDep and ((Section=cSec and Unit=cUnit1) or (Section=cSec and Unit=cUnit2))
SET FILTER TO Department=cDep and Section=cSec and (Unit=cUnit1 or Unit=cUnit2)
SET FILTER TO (Department=cDep1 and Section=cSec1 and Unit=cUnit1) or (Department=cDep2 and Section=cSec2 and Unit=cUnit2)
>Ok so i will create three separate index tags. Does this mean i do not need an dditional index which has the 3 fields concatenated together (department+section+unit) ?
