Doing residential tech support, I will never forget the man who referred

may she rest in peace, whose term for all forms of email was "Outlook

I don't think, as you say, your question is dumb, and in no way intend
to diminish it with my comments. I just think this is what I call a
'hard problem.'
I agree, and appreciate the effort you put into writing that.
I second Jean Abou Samra's motion for expanding the index if it seems
good to so so.
Lilypond.org is hosted on a Google service, I believe? Are there ways to
see what search terms people use to arrive at given documentation resources?
If there are recognizable patterns, like there's this one word people
follow over and over again to a manual page mostly using unlike terms,
maybe that could be seen as a call to add an index entry.
