Yes, I too have always difficulties to (re)find how to do it.

It's because of having a public find-info-file or whatever command
that could be found with apropos, they've implemented the feature with

So the answer is to use C-u:   C-u C-h i

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never
stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and
neither do we.
