You can't have more than one type per index.

That's a wrong assumption IMO.  
Switching from a relation model to a document oriented model is something you need to think about.

> if you have any other idea than this one I will be grateful ...

But I'm going to answer your question anyway: you can create one index per table.  
But again, I feel it could be a wrong approach.
