+1.  FWIW, this exists in `info+.el':

 Info-apropos-manuals is a variable defined in `info+.el'.

 Its value is all

 Documentation:
 Manuals for `info-apropos' to search.
 The default value is the symbol `all', which means search all known
 manuals (Info files) on your system.

 Any other value is a list of manual names (strings), and it means
 search only those manuals.

 Manual names are the Info "file" names you see in parens before the
 current node name, in Info, for example, `emacs' and `elisp'.

 You can customize this variable.
