There is not. Unlike manual pages, info pages are not designed for
display by a text pager. The info browser is the info browser.
If you use emacs, it has a more sophisticated "info" interface, but
it's still not a text pager.
RE the other thread about "info" on MacOS being old: If you've
downloaded the zsh-5.8-doc tarball, you've got the HTML files as well,
so you could browse those locally; they have the indexes.
