Is there a general index online that one does not have to subscribe to?
I haven't been able to find one.
Many thanks for your help.

In general, genre short stories and/or pre-1923 (public domain in the
US) short stories are far better covered than recent/nongenre material.
Online free short story indexes I have bookmarked include:
science fiction/fantasy:
Index to Science Fiction Anthologies and Collections (up to 1983)
The Locus Index to Science Fiction 1984-1998
(with separate update indexes for 1999, 2000, 2001)
Internet Speculative Fiction Database
mystery/crime:
Mystery Short Fiction, 1990-1999
(includes such reprinted in anthologies etc. during those years, so
scope is broader than appears from the title)
miscellaneous anthologies that are not sf/f or mystery:
Miscellaneous Anthologies
(about 350 from various dates and publishers; more are being added
from time to time but it's pretty much hit and miss what may be found)
Fictionmags Miscellaneous Magazines Index
(again, very much hit and miss; what should eventually be a massive
index of fiction in previously-unindexed (mostly) magazines, but it's
early days yet; a number of us on the Fictionmags list are inputting)
all of the above indexes are linked from the home page of Bill Contento,
who created most of them:

Also:
Classic Short Stories <which are freely available on the Web>
http://www.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/cybereng/shorts/
Gaslight: Texts by Author <mostly but not solely short stories; mostly
late 19th/early 20th century; mostly mystery and or fantastic; text
on Web via the Gaslight group>
http://www.mtroyal.ab.ca/programs/arts/english/gaslight/
The On-Line Books Page <index to online book-length texts on the Web;
does not index short stories as such but the books covered include
a large number of short story collections so story might be found if
you know the author; almost all are pre-1923>
