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

[dalanicolai]

Thanks Eli,

I actually was not aware of this command either. This seems like the command I was originally looking for.

I guess this quite well covers my usecase (for which I wrote the info-occur and adapted the info-apropos command).

Also, it seems to me this is fitting alternative/better/similar solution to Augusto's suggestion...

This is a useful suggestion indeed. FWIW, this is close to what my info-occur command provides.

But instead of narrowing on the index, it provides narrowing on sentences containing matches.

FWIW, I would find it useful if `Info-index` could be called from any
buffer, say to search the Elisp manual if I'm on a emacs-lisp-mode
buffer.  In fact, it might be handy to associate a list of Info nodes,
rather than a single node, to a buffer (this is how the "evdocs"
package works, see my recent message in a different thread).

`Info-index` won't find a needle in a haysack, but one advantage over
`info-apropos` is the possibility to do incremental filtering out of the
box, with any of the incremental completion frameworks.
