oops, spoke too soon:

$ info
h (bring up help node)
I (start virtual-index)
x (any string will do, it seems)
Segmentation fault

It looks good to me. I wouldn't worry about the Up: node; if anything, the Top node seems more logical to me.

Thanks much.

I have pushed an initial implementation. Please give it a try and let me know if there's something missing.

Notice, that this implementation differs from its Emacs counterpart in that the Up node of the virtual index window points to Top, instead of a temporary node holding previously created indices. Implementing such meta-index needs more work because it implies some deeper changes to the structure of the standalone info. I'll address this later.

Hi Sergey - I noticed that Emacs now has a command Info-virtual-index, bound to I by default, which produces a list of index matches. It would be good for standalone Info to follow suit, in the fullness of time.

For example, on the Info manual itself, doing Info-virtual-index on the term "search" brings up a dynamically-generated node that looks like this:

File: /usr/local/gnu/info/info, Node: Index for `search', Up: Index

Info Virtual Index
******************

Index entries that match `search':

  • Menu:
  • Info-isearch-search [Index]: Emacs Info Variables.
  • Info-search [Index]: Search Text.
  • isearch [Index]: Search Text.
  • searching Info documents [Index]: Search Text.
  • searching Info indices [Index]: Search Index.
