Hi Bj?rn
I think you could do this with search-and-replace, especially for names
that aren't also words.
For example, make an index marker for the name "Bradbury", then paste
the marker immediately after an instance of the name Bradbury. Then copy
the name + the marker. Then use search-and-replac

I agree that IXGen would be a great solution and it still needs something
to go on to insert the marker...even a character tag. If you don't have a
way to identify the content uniquely from text surrounding it, I'm not sure
how you can find the names without some sort of search and tag operation.

What you want is called a concordance, and I think Ixgen will do this
(http://www.fsatools.com/). Someone should confirm this. I've never used it.
