problem with info and indices

[texinfo a77151c624c0 from April 10th]

In `info.info`, section 'Index Commands', there is the following text.

     The most efficient means of finding something quickly in a manual
  is the ‘i’ command (‘index-search’).  This command prompts for a
  string, and then looks for that string in all the indices of the
  current Info manual.  If it finds a matching index entry, it
  displays the node to which that entry refers and prints the full
  text of the entry in the echo area.

Currently, this is not true.  If you process the attached file with
`makeinfo`, then calling

```
info -f info-index.info
```

and pressing the 'i' key, you get

```
No indices found
```

Either the documentation is wrong, or the implementation :-)
