Documentation

If non-nil, isearch in Info searches through multiple nodes.

Before leaving the initial Info node, where isearch was started, it fails once with the error message [end of node], and with subsequent C-s/C-r continues through other nodes without failing with this error message in other nodes. When isearch fails for the rest of the manual, it displays the error message [end of manual], wraps around the whole manual and restarts the search from the top/final node depending on search direction.

Setting this option to nil restores the default isearch behavior with wrapping around the current Info node.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
