Adding a bit more context (-A1) to the grep command helps:

  $ man man/stat.1 | grep -A1 Full
       Full documentation at: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/stat>
       or available locally via: info '(coreutils) stat invocation'

I personally prefer 'pinfo' over 'info' as reader.

Have a nice day,
Berny
