I have never used search_src/_def/_doc. But in general, I would not
deprecate a well working functionality without a real need. Surely, there
are users to whom this will be annoying. But if we talk about users who are
not interested in code and strings, wouldn't it be more useful for them to
have a function that searches through the global name space? Do we have
such a one?
The tutorial mentions *Tab completion*. But that only helps if you already
know the beginning of the word:
sage: def search_names(string):
....: g = globals()
....: for s in g.keys():
....: if s.find(string)>=0:
....: print(s)
sage: search_names('poly')
bell_polynomial
bernoulli_polynomial
characteristic_polynomial
charpoly
conway_polynomial
cyclotomic_polynomial
exists_conway_polynomial
hilbert_class_polynomial
hyperbolic_polygon
hyperbolic_regular_polygon
lattice_polytope
lfsr_connection_polynomial
minimal_polynomial
minpoly
polygen
polygens
polygon
polygon2d
polygon3d
polygon_spline
polygons3d
polylog
polymake
polytopes
BTW: How do you use *Tab completion* on SageMathCell?
