That's a fair point. The problems with the Index are that (a) the configuration parameters are mixed with other terms (ideally it should be only GUCs), (b) the links are not direct to the exact configuration parameter but the section it is contained (long number of parameters mean you need to scroll down until you find the parameter) and (c) it is hidden (unless you have browsed through the index, it is not intuitive that all configuration parameters are listed there. A new "Configuration Parameters" section would bring visibility to the configuration parameters). As I mention it is a specific reference to configuration parameters. The goal is to have an easy UI to find a configuration parameter description. -- Euler Taveira EDB https://www.enterprisedb.com/
