Re: Total GURPS index
I've found for the books I have in PDF (which is most of them) I can use the Windows search function on the folder they're in. That will tell you which book to look in as long as you use the right search terms.

Re: Total GURPS index
Acrobat multi pdf search work very well too, with links to open the Pdfs at the right spot.

Re: Total GURPS index
I use Agent Ransack, which lets you use regular expressions to search PDFs, but still provides an easy GUI.

Re: Total GURPS index
That would be a great fan project to organize, like Doug Cole organized GURPSDay, but fans have to organize it themselves like organizing to transcribe the archives of a favourite webcomic. If it is more unpaid work for SJ Games' Staff, especially an open-ended commitment to unpaid work (every new publication implies updating the wiki), its unlikely to happen.

In fairness, that was probably just too broad a search. Asking SJGames to make a giant total-GURPS-index seems impractical, though. Indexing something well is annoying, slow, generally expensive work, and I don't think they'd make much (or, really, any) of their time/money back for the effort.

Re: Total GURPS index
It would be interesting to know how SJG would react to a fan-composed index of all GURPs books.
I mean, the material is already out there freely available as I believe that every single free GURPS pdf sample in WH23 includes the index of the pdf in question.
