C-h i Choose that manual. C-s, as for any other Info manual. If repeating C-s does not search across sections of the manual, then you have an older Emacs version, so use `s', not `C-s'. But it is usually better to find topics using `i' (index access) than by searching. Try also reading the manual about Info itself. It explains all of this and much more.
