Desirable new feature

Can an add-in for OO be developed (envisioned??) that would create
a customized index of user selected words??  In one sense, it
would be like the word list in a custom dictionary that gets built
by the user one word at a time as s/he adds new words to the
dictionary.  My thought was that it would result in a relatively
small file since not all words would be indexed.  I would think it
should include "every" instance where the word occurs.  I am
envisioning it as a broadly-sourced index in that it would include
several document types and perhaps could even include file names
and not just file content as part of the range of input into the
index.  Indexing file tags would be especially useful for image
files.  It would also be nice if it could include wildcard letters
(? and *) for searching the index.

Just an idea...  

Thanks for a great product.  Joseph Domine, Humble TX

I think that OP is talking about something global to all his documents.
There are indexing applications. Some are provided by default with the OS.

Under Windows, I've used Copernic which works fine. If you can't install it because of admin rights (corporate machine for example), DocFetcher is quite good.

NB: have CCed OP because he was not yet subscribed.

It already has.

In a text (Writer) document,
o Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Indexes and Tables... | Index/Table.
o For Type, select Alphabetical Index.
o Click OK.
o Select a word in the document.
o Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Entry... .
o Tick "Apply to all similar texts" and then click Insert and Close.
o Repeat for other words.
o To update the index, either right-click in the index and select 
Update Index/Table or go to Tools | Update > | Current Index or to 
Tools | Update > | All Indexes and Tables or to Tools | Update > | All.

You can configure the appearance of the index.  If you want just the 
word list, you could easily copy the index, use Paste Special to 
paste an unformatted version elsewhere, and then use Find & Replace 
to edit out parts you didn't want.

I trust this helps.
