Searching an Info File
**********************

GNU Info allows you to search for a sequence of characters throughout an
entire Info file, search through the indices of an Info file, or find
areas within an Info file which discuss a particular topic.

`s' (`search')
     Read a string in the echo area and search for it.

`C-s' (`isearch-forward')
     Interactively search forward through the Info file for a string as
     you type it.

`C-r' (`isearch-backward')
     Interactively search backward through the Info file for a string as
     you type it.

`i' (`index-search')
     Look up a string in the indices for this Info file, and select a
     node where the found index entry points to.

`,' (`next-index-match')
     Move to the node containing the next matching index item from the
     last `i' command.

The most basic searching command is `s' (`search').  The `s' command
prompts you for a string in the echo area, and then searches the
remainder of the Info file for an occurrence of that string.  If the
string is found, the node containing it is selected, and the cursor is
left positioned at the start of the found string.  Subsequent `s'
commands show you the default search string within `[' and `]';
pressing <RET> instead of typing a new string will use the default
search string.

"Incremental searching" is similar to basic searching, but the string
is looked up while you are typing it, instead of waiting until the
entire search string has been specified.
