You can index properties saved in the store for faster searching. When an index is set on a property, it is automatically mapped to an indexed column in the big table.

The `UsingIndexes` class in the [DDS sample project](https://world.optimizely.com/download/Items/Episerver-CMS/Episerver-CMS-6-R2/Dynamic-Data-Store-Examples/) demonstrates this technique.
