Example: I do not remember Local Variables section syntax and have to look it up. I try various things, fail and end up using web browser. That is far from ideal. Today I invested a bit more time and found C-h d command so C-h d "local variables" and then C-s "local variables:" finds something: one hit only. Now I discovered add-file-local-variable function. But still not the syntax of the Local Variables section. Searching info is still a mystery to me. Is there a way to search across all info files? Is there a way to search everything which comes with emacs, e.g. function names, docstrings, info, NEWS etc? Cheers, Tomas
