  In the FAQ, no.  The Handbook is fully indexed, so we turn on index
generation during the build :

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/i27360.html

(we should probably setup an id for the index to aid linking.  I think
that collateindex.pl has an option for this)

  Turning on the index for the FAQ is easy, but it would look strange
with only a very small subset of the document indexed.

  Agreed.  Of course, we have a lot more semantic markup than just the
indexterms.  I have a hard time believing that no one has written a
decent DocBook technical search engine yet.
