I'm using the Fish shell on openSUSE Tumbleweed (20200414). I am able to initially search for a string within an info page by typing '/string'. However, when I try to search for the next occurrence using 'n', I receive the following error at the bottom:
No 'Next' pointer for this node
In addition, searching backwards with 'p' produces a similar message (replaces 'Next' with 'Prev').
Is there a way to fix this? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything online thus far.
As a workaround, is there a way to change the pager? Info pages seem to ignore $PAGER (I've set it using 'set -Ux PAGER most', which is working just fine on man pages).

You're confusing info with less and other pagers. info doesn't use an
external pager and does not implement the same set of keybindings as
less and other pagers do. To jump to the next occurrence of the string press
Control-x n or use other keybindings
as described in
info
manual
[1]. Also, p and n are used for a
completely different purposes
[2]:
n (next-node)
C-NEXT (on DOS/Windows only)
Select the ‘Next’ node.
The NEXT key is known as the PgDn key on some keyboards.
p (prev-node)
C-PREVIOUS (on DOS/Windows only)
Select the ‘Prev’ node.
The PREVIOUS key is known as the PgUp key on some keyboards.
