Perhaps.

So when you have a query like
  name = 'abc'
  surname = 'def'

then you want the result set to contain only FormInstances that have
those fields? And when you query by form_number you want to get only
those instances?

If that's right, I would think you would put the name-and-surname ones
in one collection, and the form_number ones in a different collection.
If you need to have all instances of FormInstance in the same collection
for some reason, you can have that collection as well.
