Initial Description 
The easiest way to pull this off is by means of a quick script. The key to this script is that the indexing functionality is disabled entirely for the process, then enabled again at the end – requiring a manual update at the end.

In our case, we filtered the type of products by its “Data Set” – an attribute assigned to that batch of products, but you can change this to suit any means of filtering.
