Hello,
This is a suggestion not a bug.
At (info "(elisp)" Index)
grouping on a common prefix
all the entries associated with 'forms'
at the following context is useful, note that
'form' itself occurs further above 'format'.
And, for (info "(elisp) Forms")
to go in the index. A first search finds
all but one entry refer to special forms.
* formatting time values: Time Parsing. (line 6)
* formfeed: Basic Char Syntax. (line 27)
* forward-button: Button Buffer Commands.
(line 32)
* forward-char: Character Motion. (line 24)
The grouping on common prefix 'forms' would be like how tooltip is arranged:
* tooltip face: Tooltips. (line 42)
* tooltip for help strings: Special Properties. (line 83)
* tooltip frames: Tooltips. (line 26)
* tooltip-event-buffer: Tooltips. (line 59)
* tooltip-frame-parameters: Tooltips. (line 31)
* tooltip-functions: Tooltips. (line 46)
* tooltip-help-tips: Tooltips. (line 46)
* tooltip-mode: Tooltips. (line 13)
* tooltips: Tooltips. (line 6)
or how cl/CL is:
* cl: Lisp History. (line 28)
* CL note—allocate more storage: Garbage Collection. (line 51)
* CL note—case of letters: Symbol Type. (line 38)
* CL note—default optional arg: Argument List. (line 46)
* CL note—integers vrs eq: Comparison of Numbers.
(line 39)
* CL note—interning existing symbol: Creating Symbols. (line 116)
* CL note—lack union, intersection: Sets And Lists. (line 13)
* CL note—no continuable errors: Signaling Errors. (line 98)
* CL note—no setf functions: Adding Generalized Variables.
(line 53)
* CL note—only throw in Emacs: Catch and Throw. (line 54)
* CL note—rplaca vs setcar: Modifying Lists. (line 10)
* CL note—special forms compared: Special Forms. (line 99)
* CL note—symbol in obarrays: Creating Symbols. (line 65)
* cl-call-next-method: Generic Functions. (line 196)
* cl-defgeneric: Generic Functions. (line 49)
* cl-defmethod: Generic Functions. (line 71)
* cl-next-method-p: Generic Functions. (line 204)
* cl-old-struct-compat-mode: Backward Compatibility.
(line 12)

I'm not sure I understand the request. Are you asking for index
entries like "forms, self-evaluating", "forms, symbol", "forms, list",
etc.?

I don’t know the forms there, a sampling is the following:
* form: Intro Eval. (line 12)
* special form descriptions: A Sample Function Description.
(line 6)
* special forms: Special Forms. (line 6)
* special forms for control structures: Control Structures. (line 6)
The above would be indexed together with a common prefix.
