There is a reason spc may be used ... to complete. if you `i' info The `i' is converted to uppercase then press you go to `22.8 Completion for Symbol Names' If you press spc twice then you get `Info index' which goes there to. So the in first instance finishes completion then jumps there I guess. Any way that was the source of my confusion. So it seems the index search already leads to this info quite well. Sorry to have wasted your time.
