Udi,

No switching required. And in /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.laolWovT9417/lyx_tmpbuf0 is
the list of files:
biota-to-set-wq-standards-blx.bib
biota-to-set-wq-standards.aux
biota-to-set-wq-standards.bbl
biota-to-set-wq-standards.blg
biota-to-set-wq-standards.idx
biota-to-set-wq-standards.lof
biota-to-set-wq-standards.log
biota-to-set-wq-standards.lot
biota-to-set-wq-standards.pdf
biota-to-set-wq-standards.run.xml
biota-to-set-wq-standards.tex
biota-to-set-wq-standards.tex.dep-pdf
biota-to-set-wq-standards.toc

And the *.idx file contains:
\indexentry{Water Pollution Control Act}{xiii}
\indexentry{Clean Water Act}{xiii}
\indexentry{CWA| see(Clean Water Act)}{xiii}
\indexentry{Water quality standards}{xiii}
\indexentry{Maximum concentration limit}{xiii}
\indexentry{MCL| see(Water quality standard)}{xiii}
\indexentry{Designated use}{xiii}
\indexentry{Beneficial use| see (Designated use)}{xiii}
\indexentry{Aquatic biota}{xiii}
\indexentry{Ambient water quality}{xiii}

So why don't these appear in the PDF?
