Ahh gotcha.  I misunderstood.  Yes that works for me.

Putting what you said(which I agree with) into example form:

@IndexEmbedded(depth=3, paths={"a.b.c.d.e"})
Would index everything up to depth 3.  Additionally index a.b.c.d.e, which exceeds depth of 3.

Yeah this is much better.  Thanks for clarifying.
