Yes, that sounds right. I installed Kevin's patch with that change; the
resulting patch is attached. (This patch uses the characters themselves rather
than \uXXXX escapes, for readability.) Thanks for reporting the problem, Kevin.
Marking this as done.

Recent makeinfo on @item generates forward quote 'foo' rather than
backquote `foo' which it used to. info-look.el doesn't match the
forward 'foo' in various places which are @table (as opposed to @defun
etc). For example with the glibc manual,
M-x c-mode
DBL_MAX # type this
C-h S # and look it up
=>
goes to "Floating Point Parameters" node,
but does not go down to the DBL_MAX entry
I suggest adding ' to the prefix regexps of relevant doc specs.
The latex-mode bit is a further small change to its suffix to match
\frac and \sqrt of the latex2e.info.

* info-look.el (c-mode, bison-mode, makefile-mode)
(makefile-automake-mode, texinfo-mode, autoconf-mode, awk-mode)
(latex-mode, emacs-lisp-mode, sh-mode, cfengine-mode): Match both
`foo' and 'foo' for @item and similar.
(emacs-lisp-mode): U+2018,U+2019 in emacs.info and elisp.info too.
(latex-mode): Match multi-arg \frac{num}{den} or \sqrt[root]{n} in
suffix regexp
