I recommend that you put long index entries in the ToC
and find a good reference on indexing, such as:

http://www.amazon.com/Indexing-Companion-Glenda-Browne/dp/0521689880

An index entry consists of approximately two words:
syntax:
<verb>ing <object(s)>
e.g.:

wrapping text

deleting folders

indexing special characters

remember the purpose of an index: quick searching
