This command prompts for a string, and then looks for that string in all the indices of the current Info manual. If it finds a matching index entry, it displays the node to which that entry refers and prints the full text of the entry in the echo area. You can press ‘<samp>,</samp>’ (<code>next-index-match</code>) to find more matches. A good Info manual has all of its important concepts indexed, so the ‘<samp>i</samp>’ command lets you use a manual as a reference. </p> <p>If you don’t know what manual documents something, try the <kbd>M-x index-apropos</kbd> command. It prompts for a string and then looks up that string in all the indices of all the Info documents installed on your system. It can also be invoked from the command line; see <a href="Invoking-Info.html#g_t_002d_002dapropos">--apropos</a>. </p> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="Xref-Commands.html">Selecting Cross-references</a>, Previous: <a href="Searching-Commands.html">Searching an Info File</a>, Up: <a href="index.html">Stand-alone GNU Info</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
