My immediate thought was the same as yours. But I was readily able to reproduce Mark's observation. From the roadmap, just go to Transcript Dictionary. There is a search box at the top. Enter "array." What do you get? Nada, nil, nichts, nothing.
The point being that the cognoscenti know to use the Search Documentation tool, but a rank beginner would not.
I think Mark's point was that it is not inherently obvious that using Search Documentation will give you a lot more hits than searching the dictionary.

How did you look for that?

Except to try it.
In the Search Documentation tool there are 69 hits for "array", and 19 for "arrays".
