Message-ID: <pan.2007.04.08.23.07.24@no.spam.plz> (raw)

Hello,

when I use info-lookup-symbol, I sometimes get to the wrong place in the 
info file. For example, when I use info-lookup-symbol on the keyword 
"break" in a Python source code file, it takes me to the index item

* break <1>: try statement.

instead of

* break: break statement.

probably because (strangely) the first appears before the latter in the 
index of the info file. How can I avoid this? Is it, for example, 
possible, to get a summary of all index items that contain "break" 
instead of directly jumping to the first one? Also, how does Emacs know 
in which index file to look / how can I customize it?

Regards,
Rehceb Rotkiv
