Turns out this breaks isearch over multiple nodes, as noted by Mark
Oteiza in [1].  I believe this is fixed by the patch below.

Subject: [PATCH v1] Throw a `search-failed' derived error in Info search

The original fix for Bug#6106 switched from signalling `search-failed'
to `user-error'.  However, this breaks incremental searching over
multiple nodes because the isearch code doesn't expect a `user-error'.

* src/search.c (syms_of_search): New error, `user-search-failed',
with `user-error' and `search-failed' as parents.
* lisp/info.el (Info-search): Use it instead of `user-error' so that
isearch will handle failed searches correctly.
