Hi,
I tried to put _ in index entry and am unable to do it. I tried
following 1. \index{_shiv} 2. \index{\type{_shiv}} 3.
\index{\textunderscore{} shiv}
_ is a special character for TeX. You can change this behaviour globally with
\nonknuthmode or you can escape the _ locally by using the backslash.
\nonknuthmode
  \starttext
  \placeindex
  Hello\index{huhu}
  \stoptext

or

  \starttext
  \placeindex
  Hello\index{_huhu}
  \stoptext

both work for me.
