(2 total; use `,' for next) When all of the targets are identical, or even when they are in the same node, this message is not too helpful. Repeated use of `,' stays in the same node. On the other hand, it can be helpful to know that the same term is an entry in both the Command index and the Variable index (for example). It would be good if this behavior could be improved a bit, so that equivalent targets are filtered in some way, and that you are told when they are entered in different indexes. I don't have a great idea about the best way to do that. I just notice that the help that is given is not as helpful as it might be. So I guess this is a feature request.
