+
+@cindex searching Info documents
+@cindex Info document as a reference
+ The commands which move between and inside nodes allow you to read
+the entire manual or its large portions. But what if you need to find
+some information in the manual as fast as you can, and you don't know
+or don't remember in what node to look for it? This need arises when
+you use a manual as a @dfn{reference}, or when it is impractical to
+read the entire manual before you start using the programs it
+describes.
+
+ Info has powerful searching facilities that let you find things
+quickly. You can search either the manual text or its indices.
+
+@kindex s @r{(Info mode)}
+@findex Info-search
+ The @kbd{s} command allows you to search a whole Info file for a string.
+It switches to the next node if and when that is necessary. You
+type @kbd{s} followed by the string to search for, terminated by
+@key{RET}. To search for the same string again, just @kbd{s} followed
+by @key{RET} will do. The file's nodes are scanned in the order
+they are in the file, which has no necessary relationship to the
+order that they may be in the tree structure of menus and @samp{next}
+pointers. But normally the two orders are not very different. In any
+case, you can always look at the echo area to find out what node you have
+reached, if the header is not visible (this can happen, because @kbd{s}
+puts your cursor at the occurrence of the string, not at the beginning
+of the node).
+
+@kindex M-s @r{(Info mode)}
+ In Emacs, @kbd{Meta-s} is equivalent to @kbd{s}. That is for
+compatibility with other GNU packages that use @kbd{M-s} for a similar
+kind of search command. Both @kbd{s} and @kbd{M-s} run in Emacs the
+command @code{Info-search}.
+
+@kindex C-s @r{(Info mode)}
+@kindex C-r @r{(Info mode)}
+@findex isearch
+ Instead of using @kbd{s} in Emacs Info and in the stand-alone Info,
+you can use an incremental search started with @kbd{C-s} or @kbd{C-r}.
+It can search through multiple Info nodes. @xref{Incremental Search,,,

+@section How to search the indices for specific subjects
+
+@cindex searching Info indices
+@kindex i @r{(Info mode)}
+@findex Info-index
+ Since most subjects related to what the manual describes should be
+indexed, you should try the index search first. The @kbd{i} command
+prompts you for a subject and then looks up that subject in the
+indices. If it finds an index entry with the subject you typed, it
+goes to the node to which that index entry points. You should browse
+through that node to see whether the issue you are looking for is
+described there. If it isn't, type @kbd{,} one or more times to go
+through additional index entries which match your subject.
-Here are some more Info commands that make it easier to move around.
+ The @kbd{i} command finds all index entries which include the string
+you typed @emph{as a substring}. For each match, Info shows in the
+echo area the full index entry it found. Often, the text of the full
+index entry already gives you enough information to decide whether it
+is relevant to what you are looking for, so we recommend that you read
+what Info shows in the echo area before looking at the node it
+displays.
-@subheading @kbd{g} goes to a node by name
+ Since @kbd{i} looks for a substring, you can search for subjects even
+if you are not sure how they are spelled in the index. For example,
+suppose you want to find something that is pertinent to commands which
+complete partial input (e.g., when you type @key{TAB}). If you want
+to catch index entries that refer to ``complete'', ``completion'', and
+``completing'', you could type @kbd{icomplet@key{RET}}.
+
+ Info documents which describe programs should index the commands,
+options, and key sequences that the program provides. If you are
+looking for a description of a command, an option, or a key, just type
+their names when @kbd{i} prompts you for a topic. For example, if you
+want to read the description of what the @kbd{C-f} key does, type
+@kbd{i C - f @key{RET}}. Here @kbd{C-f} are 3 literal characters
+@samp{C}, @samp{-}, and @samp{f}, not the ``Control-f'' command key
+you type inside Emacs to run the command bound to @kbd{C-f}.
+
+ In Emacs, @kbd{i} runs the command @code{Info-index}.
+
+@findex info-apropos
+@findex index-apropos
+If you don't know what manual documents something, try the @kbd{M-x
+info-apropos} command in Emacs, or the @kbd{M-x index-apropos} command
+in the stand-alone reader. It prompts for a string and then looks up
+that string in all the indices of all the Info documents installed on
+your system.
