Alternatively, you can use grep (the low-tech solution):

for f in /usr/share/info/*info*gz ; do echo ============ $f
============ ; gzip -cd $f | grep foo ; done

​Your "low-tech" solution is very helpful -- thank you. ​Is there a way to purchase an e-copy (e.g. Kindle version) of all the info-nodes compiled together that would allow full-text searches? A quick search on Amazon didn't turn up anything.
