Sir, I'm a database developer. I write a lot of SQL statements, 99% of which have WHERE clauses. I doubt that I've used LIKE as much as three times in the last year. I also like the comparison settings the way they are. The manual is not intended to teach you to use MySQL. It's intended as a comprehensive reference document. If you want a primer, buy Paul's book. If you want something free and online for beginners, cruise to the MySQL FAQ. I learned my first programming language from the vendor's reference manual. I don't recommend it.
