If you downloaded the right file (following boost.org->Download) then
the documentation for all the libs is already included. Some of the libs
have their docs at

<boost root>/doc/html/<name of the lib>/

(<boost root> is the dir you uncompressed the file to) while others have
it under

<boost root>/libs/<name of the lib>/doc/

Boost.MultiIndex is of the latter type, I guess this is why you couldn't
find its docs. Additionally, if you point your browser to

<boost root>/index.htm

you'll open up a local copy of the entire Boost site, from which you
can easily navigate through the docs.

Hope this helps, welcome to Boost,
