Hello Julien,

I read you're having trouble to find information from the section
titles. Info manuals have an index where it's easier to find
things. But actually, what helps me the most is to ignore the `info`
command and open either the full .texi source or the "html in one
page" version. Then I can do full-text search, which is a lot
quicker. Does anyone know if there is a similar facility in the info
program?

Clément already suggested you hitting ‘s’ key in ‘info’ program.

I want to add that if you have Emacs installed, you could invoke ‘M-x
info’ and then ‘C-x n w’ which will call “widen” to show all the manual.

Also, by reading ‘man info’ I've discovered ‘-o’ flag, which you could
try to use as an alternative to Emacs “widen”:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
info --subnodes -o - guix | less
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regards,
Oleg.

Fun, thanks for sharing :)
