Hi,
For example, how can I find the elisp info doc for `mapconcat' right
inside emacs?

Use command `info-lookup-symbol', bound by default to `C-h S'.
But first, put the cursor in a buffer that is in Emacs-Lisp mode.

Either do that, or
C-u C-h S emacs-lisp-mode RET mapconcat RET
If you (the OP) do this several times a day, you can
do something like this and bind it to a shortcut:
(defun info-lookup-elisp-symbol (symbol)
(interactive "Ssymbol: ")
(info-lookup-symbol symbol 'emacs-lisp-mode))
It can be polished even further with a default to the
symbol at point, however it is only educative to have
to spell out the whole function name when you look
it up.
