I have understood that the correct use of \index{}
is immediately following the word to be indexed, as in:
test\index{test}
In the case of indexing a multiple-word item, one should
probably place \index{} immediately following the first word, as in:
merry\index{merry christmas} christmas!
(so that the reference points to the page featuring "merry",
even if "christmas" wraps the the following page).
