Use the info browser. It has, built in, far more powerfull search
routines than any html mozilla find find again type thing.
For example:
info gcc
Then press `s' and enter `long int' The very first hit takes you to
this:
* Long Long:: Double-word integers---`long long int'.
If you click the hyper link it takes you to that info.
Or if you really get mean you can grep an info file in its entirety
like this:
info gcc 2>/dev/null|grep 'long int'
Try `info <then> m Stantalone <enter> to study how to use this
powerfull browser.
To study usage open the info browser then press C-h h for a turorial walkthru.
To see its power start info and then press
M-x info-apropos
And type in `regexp'
The info browser will tear thru your entire info installation and
compile a list of hyperlinks that lead you to discussions of regexp in
any info file.
Some people find the info browser hard to use. But I think it is
really just different than what they are used to. With a little
practice the Standalone info browser is easily the most powerfull
interface for information gathering. Texinfo is the absolute best
documentation method out there currently.
There are weakkneed copy cat apps like pinfo that lack the power of
the real thing. If you learn to use it, info is a serious info
gathering tool.
