The man page is clear:
-k Search man pages for keyword(s), in the same manner as
apropos(1).
And doing
-bash-4.3$ man -k re | wc
1515 22761 148437
-bash-4.3$
is meaning less.
I just wonder how can I search for the cryptic keywords I used to be able to
find.
I agree stemming and full text search is a nice feature, but just a feature.
Giving the user the option would be democratic.
:-)
I just got used to use man -k in the last 25 years, and it would be a
unexpected change.
