The P4 index was created automatically from embedded
<term> elements and so on. It was not very good then,
and it has got worse since (in that new prose has not
been consistently seeded with <term>s). It seemed sensible to
have no conceptual index rather than a bad conceptual
index.

I don't see any way of improving this without
paying someone to do a conceptual index (hard
to imagine anyone doing it for free). Trouble is,
even if we did that, keeping it up to date would be hard.

Happy to be proved wrong, of course. I suspect
you are the best person here to advise, David?
