I have the following array formula in cell B2:

=INDEX($M$2:$O$110;MATCH(1;($M$2:$M$110=C2)*($N$2:$N$110=E2);0);3)

and I want to copy it down a column, so I want:

B2 {=INDEX($M$2:$O$110;MATCH(1;($M$2:$M$110=C2)*($N$2:$N$110=E2);0);3)}
B3 {=INDEX($M$2:$O$110;MATCH(1;($M$2:$M$110=C3)*($N$2:$N$110=E3);0);3)}
B4 {=INDEX($M$2:$O$110;MATCH(1;($M$2:$M$110=C4)*($N$2:$N$110=E4);0);3)}

etc

I enter the formula into B2, I press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, then I copy the formula down the B column. This only gives me:

={INDEX($M$2:$O$110;MATCH(1;($M$2:$M$110=C2)*($N$2:$N$110=E2);0);3)}

in each of the cells I copied to.

The relative reference to C2 and E2 seems to be treated as an absolute reference. I want E2 and C2 to change.

Use 'Edit' > 'Fill' > 'Down' (default shortcut: Ctrl+D) after selecting the range to fill. You may also press Ctrl in addition to dragging the "little square". This is NOT necessary if you are filling down by dragging the formulae in more than on columns simultaneously.

1) I can copy the source cell (Ctrl+C), select the target range and paste.
2) I can double-click the cell handle and the formula drags down along the adjacent used cells in column A.
3) menu:Edit>Fill>Down... on the selection with the formula on top.
4) Ctrl+Drag&Drop

Only the drag&drop expands the same array over multiple cells which is not what you want in this case.
