And barely a mention in the article of the Soncino Talmud's Index volume which, while not as glossy and sexy as this new book, is essentially the same thing.
You mean like http://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%AA%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%91%D7%91%D7%9C%D7%99 ?
Note how on Berakhos 2a, the word "seifa" takes you to the subsequent mishnah being quoted.
Well for online searching Hebrewbooks.org also has that feature.
