Date: 2016may23 OS: Linux Level: beginner Q. Linux: How can I search man pages? A. There are a few ways:

man -k <target> whatis <target> apropos <target>

Where <target> is what you're looking for. Eg:

man -k ssh whatis ssh apropos ssh

This is often better than Googling since it gives you info about you distro and the the exact version you have.
