You raise a good point - and another reason for one of DocView's many
features. I have found too often INF files where the Index specified
by the help author was not very good. They seem to do the Index as a
"last resort - time permitting". This is why DocView can auto-generate
a Index, or it can use the built-in Index of the INF file, or it can
merge both. This behaviour is all configurable by the end-user in the
DocView Options dialog.

This gives the end-user the best chance to find something helpful from
the Index page.

DocView has a search result rating system built-in, to try and
eliminate such "noise". And if the full-text search doesn't work, you
can always switch to the Index tab.
