What would that index entry index in that node?  That node has no
Windows-specific information or issues, AFAICT.

Please describe, step by step, what subject/topic did you look for,
how did you look for it (i.e. what index entries you tried), and how
did you eventually find it.  Without the whole story, I'm afraid I
cannot understand what exactly was missing in your use case and how
best to fix that.

Thanks.
