*Web* searching is the answer, not the problem. > how does the indices not fix the problem? I rarely find anything useful in the indices other than particular functions or variables. Rarely, in GNU manuals, concepts, but that is because they do not, on the whole, have good general indices. > What about using a info browser to search through the manual? I often do that. The trouble is that often what I want to know has to be deduced from the manual, which is natural enough, because the manual tends to be structured according to the structure of the program it documents, rather than of the problems the user is trying to solve. By using web searches I can often find people asking and answering precisely the problem I'm trying to solve. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
