• Perhaps a rather incomplete example will help:

    SET @sqlquery = ' SELECT * FROM TestMyView WHERE 1 = 1 ' +

    CASE WHEN @sexID <> 0 THEN ' AND sexID = @sexID' ELSE '' END +

    <More CASE statements - one for each part of the WHERE clause

    -- Then call sp to execute

    EXEC sp_executesql @sqlquery, N'@statusID=@statusID, @sexID=@sexID' -- one for each of your filters

    ,@sexID=@sexID

    ,@statusid=@statusid

    Note how I include WHERE with 1=1 so that subsequent concatenates to the string can be started with AND.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
