The manual pages are a good way to learn about different Linux commands. But it is also good to find stuff on your system. So if you want to find everything that starts with naut on your system you can do it like this

The output will be something like this:


They -k (keyword) switch will search the description of all man pages for that word.

Great tip! Further to that, while viewing a man page, you can search forward by typing a slash followed by the search string, then press RETURN
If a match is found, the next match can be found by pressing n and the previous match can be found by pressing SHIFT-n

Great stuff! I love tips like that It helps in avoiding And it does work nicely
Regarding that keyword search, however inappropriate:

And While I am on a role:
You can move page down by pressing SPACE and go back again by pressing <b> (the letter b for back I presume )

I often find man -k easier to use than urpmq or pacman -Qi or other package managers because you do not have to know the full name....

Yes, I can see how man -k is very quick for finding possibly installed apps. Also, urpmq -y will help find anything in the urpmi repositories that contains a given search string, just like man -k but including apps not installed.

Yes but fuzzy often gives to much information. man -k cannot replace them but it is a good addition.
