I wondered if anyone here would be interested in the amatuer written
perl script I use to search info nodes by regex from the command line:
It uses syntax like this:
info --output - --subnodes 2>/dev/null $target $regex
Where $target is a node and $regex a perl regex.
That command is run by perl to render the plain text and then the
whole output is stuffed in an array, replayed and searched, printing
either 1 or 6 line[s] of context on both sides.
run it like: infosrch bash HISTIGNORE
It can be viewed or downloaded here:

in case anyone thinks it would be worthwhile to polish up and maybe
include as a page in info standalone.
