Index for C&C material?

Is there an index for the C&C PHB (and M&T) anywhere -- fan created perhaps? (Tried searching these boards but didn't see anything.)

Even though it's a 'rules lite' system, there are times when I have to page all over the place to find something I'm looking for. During a game, that slows things down. Sure, I could just make my own ruling and move on. But I like consistency and sometimes I'm not sure how to best handle something and need the book's rules to get me through. (I'm better as a CK at creating a rich setting vs. knowing every single rule by heart -- one of the reasons 3.5e drove me nuts and C&C has become my favorite system.)

A recent forum post on mounted combat was a good example of something I would have struggled with. I wouldn't have immediately known where to look (probably would have ruled wrong and in a way that messed things up for the players) and an index would have been helpful to speed the search for the best way to do things.

Does any such thing exist?

Until the CKG comes out (assuming it'll have that nifty multi-index in the back like the 1e AD&D DMG), I'd suggest getting yourself a packet of those 3M Post-It flags and writing on them and sticking 'em in your PHB for now.

Not a bad idea, but it's usually the stuff I wasn't expecting to have to know/find that causes the issues. I'm pretty familiar with the books and the table of contents are helpful to a degree, but it would be great if the CKG included some type of master index for the three core books -- great use of a few pages in my opinion! Sometimes it's quicker and better to easily look something up in an index than the figure out on your own how to best rule on a situation.

I suppose an alternate idea is to buy the pdf versions and seach for key words when I need to find something, but I tend to like paper copies of things -- no computers tucked behind my CK Screen -- and I don't relish buying another copy of what I already have.

Ok then!
Where do I find how much damage a holy water vial does on an undead? I found it on the CK screen, but I couldn't find it in the players' handbook or the Monster and treasure book. It must be in there somewhere.

Ah, that information can only be found on the CK Screen. For reals.
