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.
