Emacs has a search engine and it is called rgrep and it doesn't rely on
indices. If you really want index - in that you have a custom markup
that explicityl specifies what an index is - you can go with etags or
ctags.

(info "(mairix-el) Top")
Mairix comes to mind. The descriptions specifically talk about Emails.
Aren't the Emails files as well? I don't know.
| mairix.el--Mairix interface for Emacs

| Mairix is a tool for indexing and searching words in locally stored
| mail. It was written by Richard Curnow and is licensed under the GPL.
|
| `mairix.el' is an interface to the mairix search engine. It allows
| you to call mairix with a search term, easily create searches based on
| the currently displayed mail, save regularly used searches in your
| `.emacs' for future use and lets you call mairix for updating the
| database.

There is also notes-mode in ELPA (which I have looked at). It has
slightly different notion of what a Index is and it relies on perl-mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are just looking for free form index just a plain rgrep should
suffice, I think. Or you take in to a slightly higher level and
"consider" an Org headline as specifying an Index.

You need to really tell us what you mean by an Index :-)
