Now that I know that this is the only way to access same content using different fields "keys", I have one more question.
For example: I have other view (VIEW A) that bring a lot of info, this view have 3 keys, "Subject", "collection", "title" this view could return something around 300.000 registers "depends on the query". If I want to priorize the search for collection instead of subject I must create a new view (VIEW B) changing the order of the key, that is it? probably yes!

Is it the way the things work in couchdb? We could/must have a lot of views that bring mostly the same data just changing the key parameters to perform different queries?
