Describe the issue: 

A virtual attribute (like nsrole or cos_attribute) have computed value. If this attribute is indexed, no index key will be added in the index file. Later a search with a filter containing this virtual attribute will find zero entry matching it. This corrupt the candidate list and return invalid entries to a search. 

To prevent this behavior, a virtual attribute should not be indexed
