It could be.  Here's how to know: Whenever you are looking for some
issue, think about a word or a phrase of several words, which would
(in your opinion) be appropriate as index entries, or parts of index
entries, for that issue.  Then try these words/phrases with the `i'
command.  If they don't get you to the section of the manual where the
issue is described, submit a docs bug report and be sure to mention
the phrases you used to search.
