Hm.  Obviously this is _not_ TRT from a user point of view.  This happens _only_
when there is only one match of the search pattern and that match is before
point.  And AFAICT it happens _only_ in Info.

Yes, Isearch forward means Isearch _forward_.  But as Dani points out, in other
buffers even a singleton occurrence that precedes point gets highlighted.

This is a bug, IMHO.  It should not be closed.  Whether it is a high priority
for being fixed is another matter, but it should not be closed just because
Isearch is a bit special in Info.  That's just a cop-out.  Feature, indeed!
What we should say is "Good catch, Dani - thanks."
