AFAICT, the above "info grub" is generated from a Texinfo manual, in the GNU tradition, so it should be "fully indexed", and it comes in various formats, including a printable PDF, see https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/ Of course, that doesn't mean that it's been written for a use case like yours. === Stefan
