Gents,
Thank you for stating where you found this!!! I have used the 4th Ed. of the SFPE for years now, and I LOVE the index. I bought a copy of the 5th Ed. and I am starting to really despise it... WTH is the index, and in the heat of battle, how am I really expected to look up similar data in a three volume set of books with no dang index? What Am I missing? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

There is an index available for free now from SFPE that you can print and use.

OMG, thanks a MILLION! That was THE pet peeve among many pet peeves with the 5th Ed. In fact I will still probably bring the 4th AND the 5th editions to the test venue on October... but now that I might actually be able to USE the 5th, so...?
