I have a view that combines data from 4 tables. Can I create an index for the view? or should the indices created for the original tables speed up searching enough?

A view is similar in concept to a subselect; data is retrieved from the underlying tables, taking advantage of any indexes on those tables, when the view is queried. Therefore, indexing a view would not make sense.
