This will be about the first nice thing I have ever said about KC! I got into looking at the search option while researching a replacement for LookAt. I have added this bookmark to my desktop: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/search/
If you start there you can find things pretty well it seems to me. Here are the results of some searches that seemed off the top of my head to be typical of the things I look for: IEBCOPY - second link found is the main article. Okay, that's an easy one. STORAGE - Well, that's a tough one. I wanted the macro and it was down about the twelfth link. STORAGE MACRO did better. DD - perfect, first link the JCL reference, all of the other links potentially useful. strcpy - third link nailed it, but the first two were close enough that they would probably work (strcpy for AIX and iSeries). Ditto printf. TCB - I wanted the control block layout and there it was as about the tenth link DSAB - Control block layout the first link, with other helpful links for GETDSAB and XTIOT. SETPROG - first link nailed it, as did a search for SETPROG APF START - first "failure" -- I wanted the console command. Got DB2 starts and so forth. START CONSOLE, START SYSTEM, START COMMAND and START SYSTEM COMMAND no better. START MVS found it. Not wonderful. JOB STATEMENT - Bingo, first two links perfect. LLILF - I wanted the instruction and struck out. Search gave me one link, to a $HCCT example that uses LLILF. Ditto LHI and TRT. Seems like none of the opcode mnemonics are searchable. But PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION finds it in the third link. You can expand a link right there on the search page so you can see if it is what you want -- no need to leave the search page and come back. I'm pretty much sold!
