This is how Info behaved from day one. The stand-alone Info reader
also does that. So if we change this, a similar change should be done
in the Texinfo package.
OK, then a similar change should be done to the others as well.

You should use the much more powerful and useful Index-search (bound
to `i'), not text search.
If that's the answer, then we should remove `Info-search' (bound to `s')
altogether. If there is a raison d'etre for `Info-search', then it should
work on terms like "file" too.
IOW, I don't buy either argument advanced for not fixing `Info-search'.
