Clément already suggested you hitting ‘s’ key in ‘info’ program.

I want to add that if you have Emacs installed, you could invoke ‘M-x
info’ and then ‘C-x n w’ which will call “widen” to show all the manual.

Also, by reading ‘man info’ I've discovered ‘-o’ flag, which you could
try to use as an alternative to Emacs “widen”:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
info --subnodes -o - guix | less
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regards,
Oleg.
