Index entries don't necessary contain a string from the node it refers to.
For instance, org.texi defines an index item address@hidden summary', but there 
is
no such word in the node, so there is nothing to show.

The Emacs Info reader already supports line numbers for index items
produced by makeinfo, so it can navigate to the exact position
intended by the author of the manual that defines it using index
TeXinfo commands.
