Comment on How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW
Abnorc@lemm.ee 1 week agoIMO the built in documentation is kind of hard to digest, but it gets easier with practice and I’m glad that it’s there. Thinking about it, some good search engine for manpages that doesn’t require messing with VIM or emacs would be good. That probably exists somewhere.
Apart from the online manpage archives, there’s man -k and grepping the manpage directories, but that’s not really ideal (although that’s what I did when I started Unix a long time ago).
There are help browsers like in kde which are kind of nice but I’m not sure if they do a full text search. But they’re nice for info pages.

Would explainshell.com suffice?
