I know nothing about Javascript, but I would like to know if it is possible to use Grep for index. Thanks.

If you can conceive how you might do it in the UI, then it will be possible to write a script to do the same thing a lot faster.

Thanks, but I don't understand the mean of your answer ! Sorry. My idea is to use regex to find and index something. For exemple "(?i)Charles\sV" to find and index "Charles V" and "Charles^V", etc. Or "�v[��]nements?", etc.

Just as you could do that (laboriously) in the UI by doing a find and then adding a page reference at each found item, so a script can effectively do the same thing, but not laboriously. But you will need to learn JavaScript to do it.

I found a script write by Robert Tkaczyk : RegExpSearch. It use Grep for index, but nowadays it works only for CS2.
