  there's a lot of room for the octopus growing 
...  i.e. there are a large number of interpreted
languages and tools which have their own internal/
builtin commands (some using the same names as 
the binary versions e.g. apropos and gdb apropos).

  you might be more effective using a full man
page index of some sort and a more general search
tool.
