Thanks. That was what I was looking for.

However it is very hard to find it unless you happen to know about it
(or someone who knows is helpful and tells you ;-) ). Is there
anything we can do about this? (Both for this specific case, such a
function is probably often wanted when manupulating html. And in the
general case - i.e. apropos is not of much help here.)
