I've tried it. Surely better to operate than info, especially it
has vi key bindings for basic operations. But how to search for
keywords within all pages ? E.g. for "precision" in "pinfo bc".
With "/" it seems it searches only in the currently displayed page.
Unfortunately, you are right.
There is an info page for pinfo...
It has a configuration file. Keys are configurable.
Searching for "search" in the index only finds "Node: Environment" ...
good grief.
In "Node: Keybindings" I see:
KEY_TOTALSEARCH_1
Key for searching through all nodes of info file.
KEY_TOTALSEARCH_2
Alternate key for searching through all nodes of info file.
KEY_SEARCH_1
Key for searching through current node (or manual).
KEY_SEARCH_2
Alternate key for searching through current node (or manual).
So, we need to know which is the "KEY_TOTALSEARCH_1", but the infopage
doesn't say.
It has no online help through "?" or "h".
Mmmm... if I type "s" or "S" for search, it does look in the whole file. I
tried searching for "_pentium4" in "pinfo gcc", and it works. If you use
"/" for search, then it only searchs the current node.
That's it, then :-)
Ah! There is an "/etc/pinforc" file. Sure enough, it has:
KEY_TOTALSEARCH_1 = 's'
KEY_TOTALSEARCH_2 = 'S'
KEY_SEARCH_1 = '/'
KEY_SEARCH_2 = '.'
But I don't see how to search backwards. Ah, the cursor left key does it,
goes to the previously found item.
There is time to learn new tricks ;-)
