That's a fair point.  Both judgment by the producer of the doc and
smarts by an indexing (aka search) engine based on user experiences are
useful.

If you try to find something using the index in an Emacs manual, and
you don't find it using the terminology that you are used to, please
consider reporting it as an enhancement.  Eli, in particular, is very
good about adding index entries that correspond to user searches that
might not have been foreseen.
