You are writing of things I'm sure I've never noticed in GNU Emacs!

When I'm in info-mode at the top-level node of gawk and I type ``i´´  
I get invited to search for a word, or such.

Or do you mean the isearch function, C-s?

Finally, is /usr/share/info/gawk.info.bz2 really the gawk info file?  
While you're in info-mode visiting some gawk node, you can type C-x d  
RET to see where you are ...
