It may help to learn a bit about Info-mode, if you haven't
already. The Emacs and Elisp manuals have an index, which you can
access by typing `i'. If you use a package such as ivy or helm,
you'll see a list of all the index terms (well, only the first
few, of course) and typing a word will narrow down that list. The
nice thing about ivy and helm is that what you type doesn't need
to match the beginning of an index item.
Also, Info-mode has a regex search function, which you can access
with `s'. Together, `i' and `s' usually help me to find the right
place in the Info manual without having to go to Google. (Though
admittedly, Google also helps, sometimes... ;-) )
