Re: [External] : Re: Search multiple Info-buffers at once with Info-occur function

Great, thanks! This is very useful. I had written some code already, that also lets you select all manuals in a topic,

but that did not yet refresh the "Info-apropos-node" file when selecting a new set of manuals.

So I will probably soon propose some additions to your package here. But this already covers my main use case, i.e.

searching the emacs and elisp manuals at once.

+1.  FWIW, this exists in `info+.el':

 Info-apropos-manuals is a variable defined in `info+.el'.

 Its value is all

 Documentation:
 Manuals for `info-apropos' to search.
 The default value is the symbol `all', which means search all known
 manuals (Info files) on your system.

 Any other value is a list of manual names (strings), and it means
 search only those manuals.

 Manual names are the Info "file" names you see in parens before the
 current node name, in Info, for example, `emacs' and `elisp'.

 You can customize this variable.
