Given how densely item-#'d [ABoK](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/9845) is,  
I find it reasonably easy to do the thumbing  
--one gets close and then closer, and scanning  
to find the [ABoK](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/9845) item-# is much the same as  
scanning page-#s.

What is needed, is an Index that gives for each  
named/described item (e.g., "clove hitch") a full  
set of ITEM-#s where it multiply occurs  
--page #s be damned, being of small help--,  
AND with some font-type or listing-ordering  
that indicates the nature of the item's occurrence  
--maybe only mentioned, maybe something more  
substantial.

What is frustrating --and potentially research-defeating--  
is having the Index give just a page #, which page might  
have more than one occurrence, and which item(s) one  
must hunt for with the mere clue of the page(s) to search.
