+<para>
+Defines files that will be used as an index.
+The <argument>file</argument> name can contain variables.
+Files are checked in the specified order.
+The last element of the list can be a file with an absolute path.
+Example:
+<example>
+    index index.$geo.html index.0.html /index.html;
+</example>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+It should be noted that when using an index file, an internal redirect
+is made, and request can be processed in a different location.
+For example, with the following configuration:
+<example>
+    location = / {
+        index index.html;
+    }
+
+    location / {
+        ...
+    }
+</example>
+a request of “<code>/</code>” will actually be processed in the
+second location as “<code>/index.html</code>”.
