Then once you have the index built you can see the indexed words in BV with your colouring css trick.

Making an index seems to be a terribly boring task. Or I misunderstood what you said (could be).
I wonder if it would not be possible to make it
using the spelling list. Let me comment this idea.
When we check the spelling, we get an alphabetic list of all the words
missing in the current dictionary. So, if we switch to a rare language, we can have this way a list of all the words in the book.
To create an index then, the easiest would be to select on this alphabetic spelling list any candidate word we wish to index and click on a button named "Index this" which would create an index entry around all the occurrences of this selected word in the text files.
Once we have selected and indexed this way all the needed words, we could click on another button "make index" which would build the index file. And then switch back to the original language (presumably with a last click
).
