The display string "covers" that text, and is therefore displayed in its stead. See the node "Display Property" in the ELisp manual. Set Info-hide-note-references to nil to see the real text. > I don't understand want's going on here, but it seems undesirable to > see a word in the buffer and not be able to search for it. It's a feature. I'm closing the bug.
