Roderick, thanks for your reply! I am not sure how your idea with the crossreferences should exactly work, but when I browsed the HOWTO you hinted at in your post, another idea came to my mind, and it did work out.
The problem was: You can't include text in footnotes by using the search-function implemented in the index-subroutines; whether you use a concordance file or use the entry form and check the "Apply to all similar texts". Both ways will just select the occurences of the word in the text body, not from the footnotes. The solution is: If you use the "normal" Search function (Edit --> Search & Replace) and click "Search all", and then with all occurences of the chosen phrase (including those in footnotes) marked you select "Insert --> Indexes and Tables --> Entry (without checking "use on all similar texts" in that form), then all occurences of that phrase are marked as index entries, including those in the footnotes. Wow! To see them displayed in the index however, you have to make sure that the "from concordance file"-box is unchecked in the index properties (But if you built an index from a concordance file before, the index markers generated from the concordance file will remain in place, so you can actually mix both ways of generating in one index!) I thought I post this here - maybe it's useful for others, too. And again, thanks a lot to Roderick for your answer! Without it, I would not have thought about the way cross-references work, and probably the solution would not have come to my mind. Greetings from Bonn to all of you!
