But if I want to do things beyond the LM basics the almost endless possibilities that LilyPond offers and the many many pages of the NR and other manuals can be quite overwhelming.

What I would like: A tool that allows me to do an offline search in my local copies of the manuals. Something like the unix grep command, but slightly more friendly with a nice gui.

Now I often find my way in the online manuals with the help of Google.
This works well, except when I have no internet connection.

Do you know that you can download the documentation with the --doc option of the installer?

A browser search in a big version of a manual may be what you are looking for. Or use the PDF portfolio provided by Nick Payne if you want to search across manuals.
