You should use "info --apropos" instead. That searches the index
entries, and so is much more likely to find the issue you are looking
for than a brute-force search for words. Maintainers of GNU manual
put a lot of effort into providing good end extensive index entries
that cover every subject discussed in a manual, so searching indices
is much more efficient. I suggest to try it.
