I haven't become familiar with the info format until now. As acceptable workaround even for long manuals I usually search for the keyword as first word in a line (where it likely introduces the paragraph describing it). In this case it works as well: /<blank><blank><blank>@ Quite interesting dilemma, that while you are (well, at least me) thinking of $VAR, it's usually about VAR outside of nerd writing :)
