   I agree with Nick that we would not want to put ourselves in the corner by embedding assumption about single index into endpoint name.
   
   I also agree with Bob and Jan that adding more option to existing endpoint is not the best choice in this particular case. Specifically because the option would be off by default for compatibility reasons. Also adding new options to existing API endpoints complicates maintaining of client libraries. 
   
   I think we should come up with a new endpoint name but shouldn't  embed index name into it.
   
   I am bad at naming and naming is hard.
   
   `/{dbname}/_find_indexed`
   `/{dbname}/_select`                                                  - // inspired by SQL
   `/{dbname}/_find_select`             - // find using selection of indexes
   
   Let's ask help from @ricellis who has an extensive experience in designing APIs.
