The slapd.conf(5) man page talks about the various ways in which indices can be tuned, such as index_substr_if_maxlen, but it does not actually mention the index directive. It may be worthwhile to have text like

[b]index[/b] See the man page for the specific backend you are using for more information about the index directive {ex: slapd-bdb(5)}

so that users can more easily find that information (and the necessity to run slapindex on bdb, for example) etc.
