Apropos
Lou D'Andria
Sometimes searching by name is not enough.
Related functions such as GCD are missed by such a search. Apropos (Oxford English Dictionary: adj. having direct reference to the matter in hand) finds all directly relevant functions by searching through usage messages.
As a second example, we use Apropos to find all search functions in the Combinatorica package.
