| * **Modifiers.** `:contains` and `:exact` on the same `name` parameter need different functional indexes; `:in` / `:not-in` / `:above` / `:below` on token parameters expand into ValueSet lookups; `:identifier` / `:of-type` pull from different jsonb paths. | ||
| * **Path expressions.** Aidbox stores resources as jsonb, so the suggester emits *functional* indexes over `knife_extract_text(...)` or `jsonb_path_query(...)` — one per SP path — rather than indexes on plain columns. | ||
| * **Joins.** Chained queries (`Observation?subject:Patient.name=John`) and reverse-chain `_has` queries translate into SQL joins or subselects; both sides need their own indexes. | ||
| * **Full-resource fallback.** Token and reference parameters without a dedicated path fall back to a GIN over the whole jsonb (`<rt>_resource_jsonb`). It rescues queries that no functional index covers, but it's larger on disk. |
