Viewing Index Keyword Suggestions

You can view a list of topics containing text that matches existing index keywords in your project. You can then quickly add the same index keywords to those topics.

Example You have opened Topic A and inserted "Chair" as an index keyword. The word "Chair" may also occur in the text of Topic B. If you have not yet inserted the word "Chair" as an index keyword in Topic B, it will show up when you view index keyword suggestions.
