Index not found in Indesign

New Here ,
Aug 30, 2025 Aug 30, 2025

I have now followed all instructions. I have uninstalled all apps, used the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, and performed a complete, clean reinstallation of InDesign 20.5. The Indexing feature is still completely broken. The 'Index' option is missing from Find/Change, and the Topic Levels dialog does not work. Any ideas? The tech told me he would escalate and get back to me in 4 hours, it has been 4 Days.

My work does not involve indexing, but I'm a little confused. You say there is no index option in Find Change, and to the best of my knowledge that has forever been the case. 

I think you're going to need to provide a better description of how you are trying to build your index for anyone here to be able to help.

What do you mean by "The 'Index' option is missing from Find/Change"? There was never such option. Can you place a screenshot of what you think you miss? Do you have the Index panel open to add a selected text to the Index?
