this is often more efficient than going through an internet search.
I think the quickest way to search the lilypond stuff is to use the
info files.  The tty program to read info files is `info', or if you
like a lynx-like, colourful interface, `pinfo'.  Both programs can
search for regular expressions, so looking for

would give you a result quickly.

Of course, the Emacs info file reader can do the same; if you are not
on a Unix like platform, this is probably the solution to go.

I have a copy of Adobe Acrobat, so I create a PDF portfolio with a searchable index from the PDF docs. Anyone who wants can download the portfolio for the 2.15.41 docs from http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/music/lilydoc-2.15.41.pdf (33Mb).

You'll need Adobe Reader 9 or 10 to open it. Nothing else can cope with PDF portfolios.
