Makes sense to me, although I suspect the conceptual material is
better served by the "search path"-the-concept index entry and the
reference material by the "search_path configuration parameter" entry
(so, from that perspective, perhaps the patch should just be to remove
the "search_path" index entry from the DDL schemas conceptual
section).

I think that indexing "search path"-the-concept is useful for
translations, and the Japanese translation includes an index (I
couldn't find the index for the French translation).
