Enhancement proposal that's not a GUI

Hi

The previous thread made me remember something.

One common complaint about Matlab and Octave is that the help function is not 
useful as it could be.  One thing I like of Scilab is the apropos keyword.  
It searches around all the functions' documentation for one word. For 
example, "apropos solve" would raise fsolve, lsode, trisolve, \, ode45...

It's just a proposal because I have no idea about how to implement it :( . A 
database? grep?
