If C-h r isn't taking you to the manual, then you have a broken (incomplete) installation of Emacs. The scenario I'm aware of in which this commonly happens is on Debian-based systems (such as Ubuntu), which is explained at emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/48211/…

If C-h r doesn't take you to the Emacs manual then the problem is likely in your init file. Do you see the same problem when you start using emacs -Q?

See @Drew It is not so easy as you stated. Of course I hit C-h r.

And I see now the error message you quote says that you are not in any manual - you are at the directory node, which is above all manuals. So see previous comment - clearly C-h r didn't take you to the Emacs manual, or you didn't actually use C-h r.

But you said C-h r, which is the Emacs manual. It definitely does have an index. Perhaps you are doing something wrong. Do you see the same problem (no index) if you start Emacs using emacs -Q (no init file)? If not then bisect your init file to find the culprit.

Which manual has no index? I'd suggest filing a bug to the maintainers of the relevant library, if not part of regular Emacs, or M-x report-emacs-bug if it is part of regular Emacs. i is generally recommended as the best (or one of the best) ways to find stuff in Emacs. If some manual has no index then I'd consider that a bug, or at least a place where there's room for improvement.
