In a Sage session, type "sea" (without '"') and hit the tab key. This
gives you all possible completions of "sea":
sage: sea<TAB KEY>
search_def search_doc search_src
Then, for each of these commands, read the documentation. That's to
say: do
sage: search_src?<RETURN>

search_src is even more useful, since it searches in the source code,
not only in the documentation...
Cheers,
Simon
