Do you prefer printed manuals? If so I have just the thing for you. It
will make, from 'man' pages, a readable, printable, text file. While
loaded into your favorite text editor you can search it if you like.

Find the bash script   mancon.

I would post it here but I do not know if there would be objections. It is
about 1/2 k in size.
