idents that are only defined in IDL files don't show up in the index. (Some idents from IDL files are in the ident index, but it's because of things like: nsIModule Defined as a (forwarded) class in: xpcom/components/xcDll.h, line 39 which really shouldn't be required.) The nsIModule case shows that if an interface-name ident is found in a C++ file (forwarded class, typically, then the index will point to the IDL definition in the search list: xpcom/components/nsIModule.idl: line 29 but if you look for the method name RegisterComponentLoader (or registerComponentLoader), the IDL file never shows up.
