I work as an editor of big scientific and technical reports, and I can tell you that in the nearly 20 years I've been doing this I've never had to create an index. Indexes are useful for documents that will be available in print only, but most user manuals are published online or distributed as PDFs, and the search function makes an index obsolete. I recognize that they're not obsolete for you, but this is the way things are going.
I'm afraid you're going to encounter this more and more frequently. Creating an index is labor-intensive and subjective, whereas using the find function in a PDF reader or e-book reader is comprehensive and immediate. User manuals are typically updated with each major new version of software, which means the index would have to be updated as well, an expensive proposition for the software company with limited return on investment since most people don't miss having an index, they just learn how to use the find command in a PDF or e-book.
