If the index is stored as HTML, searching it > can be implemented, just as it was implemented with Info format. Yes, sure it can. You can have search capabilities across a set of HTML pages. However, that search is not HTML coding; it is something else (perhaps embedded within HTML code). It could be Javascript, ECMAscript, Java, php, or whatever. All I meant was that the cross-pages search would not itself be just static HTML code. We agree: search can be _implemented_ for HTML pages.
