I think that OP is talking about something global to all his documents.
There are indexing applications. Some are provided by default with the OS.
Under Windows, I've used Copernic which works fine. If you can't install it
because of admin rights (corporate machine for example), DocFetcher is quite
good.
NB: have CCed OP because he was not yet subscribed.

Can an add-in for OO be developed (envisioned??) that would create a customized
index of user selected words?
It already has.
In one sense, it would be like the word list in a custom dictionary that gets
built by the user one word at a time as s/he adds new words to the dictionary.
My thought was that it would result in a relatively small file since not all
words would be indexed. I would think it should include []every[] instance
where the word occurs.
In a text (Writer) document,
o Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Indexes and Tables... | Index/Table.
o For Type, select Alphabetical Index.
o Click OK.
o Select a word in the document.
o Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Entry... .
o Tick "Apply to all similar texts" and then click Insert and Close.
o Repeat for other words.
o To update the index, either right-click in the index and select Update Index/Table or
go to Tools | Update > | Current Index or to Tools | Update > | All Indexes and
Tables or to Tools | Update > | All.
You can configure the appearance of the index. If you want just the word list, you
could easily copy the index, use Paste Special to paste an unformatted version
elsewhere, and then use Find & Replace to edit out parts you didn't want.
I trust this helps.
