As far as I know, info doesn't let you search document-wide
(including all subsections, branches and crossreferences)
while man documents - being ONE document - let's you do this.

Furthermore, it's quite easy to turn a a manpage into a nice
looking PS / PDF file for printing and archiving.

zcat `man -w <COMMAND>` | groff -Tps -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4 -mandoc | ps2pdf - man.pdf

I'm not sure you can do this with info based manuals...
