I usually use the alphabetic indices to get to function, utility and
header pages by name.  Alphabetic --> S --> set

Those indices are also useful for finding topics (definitions and
general concepts).

Andrew said he resorted to using the search facility.  I would only
ever use that for finding occurrences of words within pages, never
for navigating to a specific page.

There are also links under "Frontmatter" to a full contents list for
each volume, where a browser's "find in page" feature could be put
to use.  (In the XCU contents, the first hit for "set" is what
Andrew wanted.)
