0.9.1.15. A free-text "index"
OK, even with all the automagical indexing, cross-referencing, etc.,
occasions will arise when you say, "Help! I need to look absolutely
everywhere for <foo>!" (Like you do with grep/tags, but
preferably nicer -- all the tricks of the free-text indexing trade.)
It would be great to have a "free text index" button or pseudo-node
(an Info "node" that, when you jump to it, puts you in a
free-text-search mode. Of course, the free-text-search should be able
to plunk you down in the Info node you finally select).
I really don't want to implement this myself :-)
