Yes. In Icicles, `C-h f some-regexp S-TAB' shows you all functions whose names
match `some-regexp'. And you can change the regexp on the fly.

And whenever you use a command that expects a function or variable name as
input, you can see the complete help for selected completion candidates that
match your input, using `C-M-RET'.

Icicles also enhances the regular Emacs apropos commands in various ways.
