For bash: 'i' gives me "no indices found" and 'I' says "no index". I can do a '/' search, which finds some "-p" strings, but "n" doesn't work to find the next.

From some other comments, it sounds like "info" uses emacs at its core? So I suppose I'd have to learn some emacs commands, if that's the case.
- Pete_D 9y agoinfo works without emacs, but some people prefer emacs' info viewer to the console one. The console viewer does have some idiosyncratic keybindings - for example, "n" means "next node at same level", and "}" means "search for next occurrence". "H" will give you a quick overview. I'm surprised indexes aren't working for you - unfortunately I don't know of any suggestions to fix that.
- khedoros1 9y agoThank you for the comment! I've always been aware of the info pages, but it's honestly been years since I've tried to use them. This thread is a good reminder to give it another go.
