The man(1) implementation used on many (but not all) Linux systems,
man-db, does have a -K option since 2009. But what it does is just
linearily search through the full text of all

An apropos(1) term lets you specify searching different "Macro Keys",
including the "any" key that
ps: I think apropos/man -k only search the header, not the entire manual page.

Maybe lowercase 'k'?

I think "man -K" would work on gnu/linux, but on OpenBSD you might have to:
cd /usr/share/man
or
cd /usr/local/man
and
grep -ir hostap *|less
.
Maybe someone else knows a better way though.

Hello,
was looking for "hostap" or "Host AP" using man -k and apropos, but this
somehow does not return expected results:
$ man -k hostap
hostapd(8) - Host Access Point daemon
hostapd.conf(5) - configuration file for the Host Access Point daemon
but:
$ man ral|grep hostap
8 matches
