Oops. Sorry. I thought you were being sarcastic.
I am using Rev 2.1.2 and my Help menu drop down has: Documentation Transcript Dictionary Search Documentation <----- this is what you want ---- License Revolution Revolution Support Check for updates
To get to this menu I did the following:
Start Rev. Look at menubar at top. At top right, see Help Menu. Select it, notice the third item down: Search Documentation. There I am
At least that's what I see in Rev 2.1.2 running on Mac OS X. I haven't had a chance yet to try it out with other OSes nor to see if I have 2.0 and it is somehow different from 2.1.2. Will do that in a few hours--have some errands to run.
Meanwhile, if this doesn't solve your problem, please let me know which OS you are using (I already know you are using Rev 2.0).

Or was that a real, not rhetorical, question?A real question!
I launch Rev 2.0, go to the Help menu and see the following topics: Revolution Documentation Transcript Dictionary Tutorials Tips License Revolution Revolution Support Check for Updates Online
Okay, the first item gives me the following options: About the Documentation Learning Revolution: For New Developers Tutorials Using the Free Edition Using Revolution: Development Guide Transcript Language Dictionary Transcript Cookbook Troubleshooting Application Reference: Menus Shortcuts Finding Help: Glossary Additional Resources
Now, when I first started using Rev 18 months ago I did the tutorials and poked
around in the help, looked at a couple of recipes, browsed through the tips,
etc. Found the Transcript Dictionary to be very helpful if I had a clue what
the command/message/property might be that I'm trying to use. I've often
wished for a command that would search all available documentation for a
keyword, but haven't found one in the help items listed above. Now I find
out from you that such a command exists! Where is it? Why isn't it the
first thing in the help menu?
This is indeed a real question. To rephrase, how do you get to the Search
Documentation tool? (I'm sure I can figure out how to use it once I find
it....)
