X-Ray vs Index
In an article by Jan Wright entitled The devil is in the details: indexes versus Amazon's X-Ray, The Indexer 30(1):6-10, March 2012, Society of Indexers, UK, she points out the poor synonym detection of X-Ray. X-Ray did not pick that Buffalo Bill and William Cody were the same person.
Dwight Walker, Webmaster of Web & Electronic Indexing SIG, suggests using an index and X-Ray or having a search engine algorithm that uses terms chosen by an indexer.
Indexing in ebooks lacking
Many ebooks like Kindle have no table of contents or keyword index only search and bookmarking. These need to be retrofitted.
