It is good as you say, but I get something different when I do
"info find" in terminal.

I see what you mean - the entry point for `info find` is a bit unlucky,
because it directly goes to section "Invoking find".
Maybe `info '(find)' 'Finding Files'` would be a better start.

I have to think about it.  For my own reference, the following patch would do 
that.

Have a nice day,
