why do I get "index is not defined" error using easy:search

I'm just trying to set up a basic search tool in Meteor to find articles in my MongoDB collection, but I'm struggling to get off the ground (if anyone has a good tutorial for an alternative search tool I'm open to suggestions).

I've settled on easy:search because it seemed like a simple search tool to get running, however one paragraph into their getting started instructions and I'm already getting an error:

ReferenceError: Index is not defined

although correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the 

import { Index, MinimongoEngine } from 'meteor/easy:search'

line is for?

EDIT: I have tried using the import line on both the client and the server side and I get the same error either way

this problem was fixed when I included the "import" line in the "lib" folder along with the other code (specified here) to be run on both server and client

disclaimer: I uninstalled and reinstalled meteor and may have changed something else along the way which may have been the true solution, but this appears to be the triggering change

Did you install the package on meteor?

 meteor add matteodem:easy-search

I see that in the getting start instructions they didn't put the instruction.

See ya
