Desde man man :
-K, --global-apropos
Search for text in all manual pages. This is a brute-force
search, and is likely to take some time; if you can, you should
specify a section to reduce the number of pages that need to be
searched. Search terms may be simple strings (the default), or
regular expressions if the --regex option is used.
Esto abre directamente la página de manual (vim , luego ex , luego gview , ...) para mí, por lo que podría agregar otra opción, como -w para tener una idea de qué página de manual se mostrará.
$ man -wK viminfo
/usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz

Use la opción global apropos en man .
