Hi,
I have put up on my website a text file of the entire contents of Maxima's help text. You can now download it and use your favorite
text file editor to search and view the help text body instead of just using Maxima help which cannot search the body of help files.
It only searches the titles.

There is a link there.
I recommend Notepad++ for Window users, it supports advanced search options like using regular expressions and multiple languages
and it is free. You can get it from sourceforge.net. The link to that is here.
