I think info probably would have been more popular if the local reader used HTML rather than info directly. Just the reader UI seems to turn people off to it.

Also man has "apropos" for search. It works pretty well IME.

Agreed on `info`. Such a missed opportunity.

`apropos` is for listing possibly relevant manpages, but I'm thinking about searching within a manpage. Particularly a long one like bash's.

typing / in the pager doesn't work for you?

		Not always. See my sibling comment for details, and an example of when a smarter search strategy would be better.
