Re: [help-texinfo] Search full content of all info nodes similar to 'man

    Your "low-tech" solution

BTW, even simpler: 
zgrep /usr/share/info/* foo

(And maybe other directories, depending on your system ...)

    purchase an e-copy (e.g. Kindle version) of all the info-nodes
    compiled together that would allow full-text searches?

To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever tried to put together an
electronic collection of GNU manuals in one place for download or
searching or e-reading or whatever.  It would be a lot of work to keep
up to date.  In practice, if you do a web search for any given term
together with "gnu" and "manual" or "info" or some such, you will
probably hit it.

A list of (pretty much) all GNU manuals is linked from
http://www.gnu.org/manual, FWIW.

(By the way, Kindles are all about DRM, so GNU wouldn't have anything to
do with them specifically, in any case.)

Best,
Karl
