According to the Document that we can create a index file like "LibraryName.index" and put it under folder "robot-indices". But actually, only the BuiltIn.index worked. Index files with other name won't work. Why? Do we missed any setting or configuration here?

I had the same issue but found out it was because the library in question was not loaded in the specific file. So for an index file to be loaded the library it is meant for has to be loaded via 'Library libraryName' in the Settings part of the robot file.

But since a robot file may only be meant as a ressource file and as such does not load libraries, it would be nice if the index files were used (or at least could be configured to be used) regardless of the library in question being loaded in the current file or not.
