I disagree.  I think the output in eww is quite decent and
better than info mode.  At least for output generated by tex2any
from texinfo files.  (If you looking into converting documents written in some
other non-texinfo format, that's not really a priority for this project.)

I don't think using grep is relevant.  Full-text search is nice
(though I seldom use it), but in principle full-text search in html
files isn't all that different from full-text search in info files;
just dealing with a slightly more complicated syntax.
And emacs already includes an HTML parser.

The new JavaScript "html-info" reader handles both index search and full-text
search (though that latter seems broken - haven't looked into it).
You can see a sample in action here:

If JavaScript can do, Emacs-Lisp can do it.
