FYI, I've now added the ability to choose the manuals
to search on the fly, by using a non-positive prefix
arg with `info-apropos'.  This ignores option
`Info-apropos-manuals'.

I've left the default value of that option as `all',
so the default behavior of `info-apropos' is the same
as for vanilla Emacs.  But with `all' it can take a
while to search all manuals.  A better default might
be the list ("emacs" "elisp") - dunno.

[It would be trivial for Emacs to pick up the Info+
definitions of `info-apropos' etc., but that's not
for me to decide.  It could also just do something
similar, i.e., solve the problem differently.]

HTH.

As Eli noted, don't send suggestions about Info+ to
the Emacs bug or dev mailing list.  Send them to me.
(If you use `M-x customize-group Info-Plus' then you
can click link `Send Bug Report'.)
