Hey people,
Please look at this bug report on ginfo... although the severity should
be `wishlist' rather than `normal'...

Subject: Bug#56992: info: RET should terminate isearch

Package: info
Version: 4.0-2
Severity: normal
In i-search one normally expects RET to terminate the search without
taking further action. This is how Emacs has behaved since version 19,
i.e. in the last several years.
The standalone Info reader apparently does not behave this way; along
with terminating isearch, RET also takes its usual action. For instance,
when searching for a node name, pressing RET terminates the search *and*
follows the node. That's not what an Emacs user would expect.
I believe RET should terminate isearch as it does in Emacs. Regular
info users will probably not notice the change, and it will make Info
a bit more pleasant to Emacs users stranded without Emacs.
