And currenty you have marked this term as <indexterm><primary>The fat
cat sleeps</primary></indexterm>?

If so, you can create preprocessing step which will create seperate
indexterms for each word. Something like:
<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<!-- Identity copy -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="indexterm">
<!-- Duplicate current indexterm -->
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<!-- Create permutations -->
<xsl:call-template name="perm">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="string(primary)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="perm">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:variable name="first" select="substring-before(concat($text, '
'), ' ')"/>
<xsl:variable name="rest" select="substring-after($text, ' ')"/>
<indexterm><primary><xsl:value-of
select="$first"/></primary></indexterm>
<xsl:if test="$rest != ''">
<xsl:call-template name="perm">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$rest"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then you will apply this stylesheet to your DocBook document to get
temporary DocBook document with index permutations. You will then
process this temporary document as normal DocBook document.
