`search-failed' is added to `debug-ignored-errors' in info.el
to not enter the debugger when a normal search stops with no results.

But this error is raised by `xsignal1 (Qsearch_failed, string)'
in `re-search-forward' (called from `Info-search'),
so I see no way to replace it with a call to the new function
`user-error' (or the same function with any other name).
