Since it was proposed in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-06/msg00454.html instead of implementing `Info-index-occur' I arrived to a different command name: `info-apropos-current-file'. I don't know if this is a better name, but by its functionality this command is very similar to `info-apropos' that works only on the current Info file. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
