At the very least the text at the top of the customize buffers should mention the apropos functions. It should be added to the menu-bar Custom menu. You would also expect something about finding customizations to be in the info that is displayed when you press the 'Help' button, but there is nothing obvious.... There is also no mention of customize-apropos-options, customize-apropos-groups, or customize-apropos-faces. There should be. I agree. Finding stuff quickly and easily is what it's all about. Customize is a navigational nightmare, and the apropos commands help quite a bit. Let's make them more visible (point out, add to menu,...).
