Using regex is about the only way to generate a controlled list of words to index. A more precise way to is manually mark each word to be included in the index.
Sometimes for complicated index entries I use Find/Replace in regex mode and then manually mark the ones I actually want in the index as opposed to minor references.
I do this as a final step while proofing a near final document.
You can also right click in the Index Editor and open a tab separated "word" list (really pattern list) and build the list of patterns that way.
As I read/proof I sometimes simply add text patterns for words I want indexed to an open text editing window instead of marking them directly.
