You "assumed" ;-) that the INDEX required the CJCL/SEARCH
mechanism.  Apparently it does not.  It uses the special
server userid and you just include (or exclude) the
"descriptive" entries from the INDEX distribution in order
to effectuate <gosh I luv that word> a full text retrieval.
e.g.,
 
listname-SEARCH-REQUEST@fqdn
