In the 'info' package. Start info and hit C-h, and in the help is:

The current search path is:

"/usr/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/info:/usr/local/lib/info:/usr/lib/info:/usr/loca 
l/gnu/info:/usr/local/gnu/lib/info:/usr/gnu/info:/usr/gnu/lib/info:/opt/gnu/info 
:/usr/share/info:/usr/share/lib/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/share/lib/ 
info:/usr/gnu/lib/emacs/info:/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info:/usr/local/lib/emacs/ 
info:/usr/local/emacs/info:."

I would guess /usr/share/info would simply appear earlier in the search 
path if it were configured with "--infodir=/usr/share/info".
