Before the original post, I had submitted a connect item for something similar.
It turns out that filtered indexes may not be used when auto-parameterization(or for stored proc) occurs without a recompile hint. This is sort of understandable but I can think of workarounds and I suspect additional logic will be added in the future as mentioned below. Here is the feedback from a connect item I submitted.
"
Thanks for your feedback. The query in question, select lastname from Person.Contact where ContactID <=(100-20) is auto-parameterized by SQL Server into the following form, using the standard auto-parameterization rules: select lastname from Person.Contact where ContactID <=(@1-@2) These rules are designed to minimize compile time cost for simple queries like this, possibly at the expense of additional optimizations such as using a filtered index. Admittedly, it is a difficult tradeoff. In a future release, we'll consider extending the design to make a better decision in a cost-based way. For now, this behavior is by design.
