Yes! It seems silly for every piece of documentation to have two links and two different representations: organized by section or all on one gigantic page.

That's really good to hear that Info allows you to search whole documents. Last I looked at Info (probably the late 90s), I feel like it could only search by the page you were on or the woefully incomplete indexes. Though, maybe it did, the memory is getting hazy... :)
