They all seem to share the same history (the global one) except
Info-search, which takes a regexp and has its own history.

I do think Dan's request makes sense (i.e., trying Info-index and then
Info-search is probably common), but since one is a string and the other
a regexp, do we want to get rid of the separate history for the latter?
