The index search is IMHO more powerful than apropos, because the latter 
searches more-or-less arbitrary text (the doc strings), while the former 
searches index entries which were crafted specifically to be useful for 
finding the topic they point to.

So I recommend to try `i' first, even before apropos.  The only 
exception to this rule is when you almost know the exact name of the 
function/variable--in that case, apropos will usually have a higher 
success rate.
