info-apropos looks interesting.

I just have to be careful what do I search for.  For example

   (info-apropos "local variables:")
   (info-apropos "Local Variables:")

gives: No matches found.

   (info-apropos "local variables")

Gives good links.

But it is much slower than grep.

That is more complicated than grep.
