Info-index should guess from text underneath cursor

[jidanni]

I'm browsing
(info "(gnus) Group Parameters")
and I put my cursor on top of the variable in
     See also `gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups'.
and hit i, and need to type it in instead of it being guessed as what I want.
emacs-version "23.1.50.1".

That's not a Texinfo problem, that's a problem with the Gnus manual.
It should have used a cross-reference instead of plain text.  Then you
could type RET or `f' to go to the referenced place directly.
