Default Total GURPS index

After spending hours trying to create stats for some vehicles for a conversion. It would have helped to have a index to let me know the the rules were in pyramid issue 120.
What I am suggesting is a official index of all official GURPS 4th edition products.

There is a index bot in the Gurps discord. Don't know if it covers what you want but does include Pyamid.

Go play another game. Solved. Right?
No, it doesn't solve the continuously emerging problem of being swamped by the amount of material that has been produced.

What about the already existing GURPS wiki?

I have looked through the different indexes and so far none of them do anything but tell you the name of the article.
And while that works for finding things like "More ultra tech".
When the articles name is less descriptive "Describing Vehicles" it not always helpful.

I expect the best thing to do is to ask the forum's collective memory. Its not fast (wait a day or so), but its usually pretty thorough, and if there is anything we do well its tell you which obscure book has the stuff you want in it.

That's true.
I don't know how many times I have posted a question like "I needed this to do that" and got the right answer in a day or two.
But it would be nice to just say I need to convert some vehicles and look up vehicle conversion to fined its on pg.xx of "Pyramid 3-120 Alternate GURPS V"

I've used the forum for this purpose a number of times. As far as I can remember, it's always worked. The last time, I asked for help looking for something that was in a very obscure book--GURPS Basic Set. D'oh!

It's got a reasonable catalog but it doesn't have everything. ;-)
