Here are some proposed methods for finding it, which can be adapted for 
other searches as well.

 * "info guix" followed by 's' 'search-input-file'
   (free-form text search, good for finding examples)
 * "info guix" followed by 'i' 'search-input-file'
   (index entry, works well for procedure names)
 * "info guix" > "Programming Interface" > "Build Utilities", followed
    by some scrolling, then find 'search-input-file' there.
   (using the TOC)

The first two options only take a few seconds.  The latter can be quick 
or long, depending on whether your guess on where it's located is good 
or bad.

And a fourth option, since you seem to like grepping:

 * git grep -F search-input-file doc/
   (in a git checkout of Guix)
