Why not add this information to the doc strings of the customize-apropos* commands? and: Likewise, for the regular apropos commands, if they have similar behavior. I _will_ say something about it in man/custom.texi, when I send my patch. In as far as the docstrings go, my remark that only loaded stuff is found applies to most of Emacs: all apropos functions, C-h v, C-h f and friends, and so on. So _many_ docstrings would have to be changed if we wanted to be consistent. `customize' and `customize-browse' are isolated exceptions to the general rule, because Custom stores extra info in its groups.
