The latest beta (ConTeXtver: 2018.06.23 12:12 MKIV betafmt: 2018.6.23) processes without a hitch but \seeindex is still not working as expected. In \starttext \index{sample} \index{fun+games}\index{fun+stuff} %\index{fun} \seeindex{fun}{sample}% now with heading (as it should be) \seeindex{fun}{blah}% not shown \seeindex{fun}{humbug}% not shown \seeindex{fun}{bug}% not shown \seeindex{fun+games}{entertainment}% not shown \placeindex[n=1] \stoptext When I generate the indices for my book, \seeindex{A}{B} works only if it is a unique x-ref and A is a heading. Multiple x-refs to the same heading fail as do x-refs to subheadings. sure,

\seeindex{fun}{blah} % not shown \seeindex{fun}{humbug} % not shown \seeindex{fun}{bug} % not shown

as there is no index entry blah, humbug or bug ... so you would be fooling your reader

I understand the rationale, and it could be a nice feature, but we need to refer to entries in a different register, e.g. from an index of topics to an index of persons, e.g. \seeindex{Pragma}{Hagen, Hans} or to subentries like \seeindex{fun+games}{bah+humbug}. Since the latter doesn’t work (or does it now?), we use \seeindex{fun+games}{bah/humbug}. hm, sounds like a crappy index to mee (i actually hate these indexes
