Info should setup a "completion category" so you could configure this
via `completion-category-overrides'. Please M-x report-emacs-bug.

That affects the body of the function (i.e. the code that, given
a query, will look for the corresponding place in the index), whereas
you want to tweak the way the interactive-spec works.
You might like to try something like (guaranteed 100% untested):
(advice-add 'Info-index :before
(lambda (&rest _)
(interactive
(lambda (spec)
(let ((completion-styles '(substring)))
(advice-eval-interactive-spec spec))))
nil))
