How to search across all info nodes

I really find useful the ability to search across the full text of all man pages via the following command:
Code:
Code:
man -K [search term]

I'm trying to figure out how to search for a term in the full text of all info nodes. This would be very useful. Is this possible?
 


That would depend on what you mean by Info Nodes.
As an example, here are a couple of suggestions:
Code:
info --apropos="search term" | more
However, this command only searches the info indices. Is there a way to search the full text of all info files?
Code:
find /usr/share/info -name "*.gz" | xargs zcat | grep -i "pattern"
However, this command doesn't return the info node's filename. Suggestions?
 
Thanks for sharing, it is really helpful for me. keep in touch.
