Hello,

I'm new to Sage and I am still struggling with finding what I need in the 
documentation.  I'm writing because maybe I'm not approaching this the right 
way, and I'm looking for advice.  I am using the notebook interface.  

I can evaluate "something?" in the notebook to get some help, but this is 
usually very brief and more useful as a reminder than learning something new.

Is there a way to go directly to the documentation page of a certain function, 
from within the notebook?  Coming from Mathematica I was used to just pressing 
F1 over any functions to get the documentation page (the short usage messages 
also have links to detailed documentation in Mathematica).

Is there a way to search the documentation?  Clicking "help" in the notebook 
brings it up but there's no search box!  What would I go if I wanted to find 
help, say, on Primes() ?  Is there anything better than going to the reference 
manual, opening the full index, then trying to search in the page until the 
right result comes up? (This takes many clicks and a lot of tedious searching.)

Szabolcs
