You seem to be reading the wrong manual.  Try reading "9.4 Completion"
in the Emacs user manual instead.  It describes the commands in the
minibuffer when Emacs does completion, which is what you want.

Actually, if you type ? (question mark) at the prompt, Emacs will pop
up a buffer with some useful commands.
