I recently had an index with part numbers and UPC codes. Some of the UPC codes were incorrect so I had the client output the correct part numbers and UPC codes to a csv file. I saved the index to IDML and used grep in a text editor to find each part number and look up the correct UPC from the CSV file. After updating appropriate XML file from the IDML, I reopened it in InDesign and had my updated index.

I could have done this directly in the InDesign file with JavaScript, but I found it easier to do it on the XML file form the IDML file.
