I thought it was covered under Groups for some reason, but apperently it is not covered there as I believe. And the point you made in another letter that the apropos commands only finds loaded options is very essential. This makes my approach much less useful and it should be pointed out clearly. So I have no real objections. But I still think that the apropos functions should have a prominent place in the node. And to me it was not really obvious from the beginning that you could use the usual search functions the customize buffer.
